Are you thinking of selling your Fort Walton Beach Florida apartment complex or multi-family, duplex, triplex, four-plex etc?

1. What is the apartment complex occupancy rate?
2. What are the rents?
3. Are all the rents for each apartment the same?
4. Do the rents correspond with unit sizes?
5. How long have the tenants been there?
6. Are the leases on month-month, six month, one year or other?
7. Are any rents paid in advance? If so, is there a discount for advance payment of rents?
8. What is the main source of the tenants for the Fort Walton Beach area apartment complex? Is there a specific industry drawing tenants? If so, is the industry cyclical (such as tourism) or is the industry growing or declining? For example, if a new manufacturing plant is being built, that would be very attractive to a landlord. However, if companies are shutting down, that would be a negative.
9. May I have the last three years profit and loss statements?
10. What condition is the roof? If the roof age is questionable, have a roofer inspect it prior to selling, repair if necessary and give a life expectancy statement.  If you don’t wish to do so, get bids for roof replacement from three reputable roofers, as the buyer certainly will if it’s in question. This will save you valuable time during the buyer’s feasibility period.

21. Has there been any construction done without a permit?
22. Repairs or renovations to the apartment complex or multi’s such as electrical wiring not done to code?

This 12 unit apartment complex in DeFuniak Springs Florida! 537 N 20th Street was a multi-building apartment complex on approximately 4.5 acres.  One building had six units, and two smaller buildings had three apartments each, for a total of 12 units. The complex was built in 2000 and well-maintained. The asphalt parking lot had been re-poured.  Each unit in the apartment complex was about 1000 square feet and included a screened porch.
