The Do's and Don'ts of Multifamily Re-Trading

The Do's and Don'ts of Multifamily Re-Trading

Author: Mark & Tamiel Kenney November 4, 2022 Duration: 16:53

You found something in due diligence the seller never disclosed. Now what? Re-trading is one of the most misunderstood moves in multifamily investing — done right, it protects your returns; done wrong, it torches your reputation with brokers and sellers for years.

In this episode, Mark and Tamiel Kenney walk through the complete framework for renegotiating a multifamily purchase price — when it's legitimate, when it isn't, and exactly how to handle it without blowing up the deal or your standing in the market.

You'll learn:

- The difference between legitimate and illegitimate reasons to retrade — and how most buyers get this wrong

- Why you should never piecemeal your ask to the broker — and what to do instead

- How rising interest rates have created a new category of valid retrade situations

- Credit vs. price reduction — and the lender trap that can wipe out your credit entirely

- Why being a "good buyer" isn't just good ethics — it's a long-term competitive advantage
