What You'll Learn Inside

This guide covers the same issues I regularly walk through with Los Angeles apartment owners before they decide whether, when, or how to sell.

How buyers actually determine what your apartment building is worth

How tenant situations can increase or decrease your sale price

What buyers look for during due diligence — and what can kill a deal

How SCEP, REAP and rent control can affect your sale

The most common mistakes that cost apartment owners money

Why I Created This Guide

After more than 40 years in Los Angeles real estate, I've seen many of the most expensive mistakes happen before a property ever reaches the market. Owners may make repair decisions, tenant decisions, or pricing decisions without first understanding how buyers will evaluate the building. I created this guide to help apartment owners understand their options before making costly decisions.
