Multifamily Acquisition Model

This problem practices the core framework for sizing a multifamily real estate acquisition in a fast, interview style setting. Candidates need to think through the key drivers of property income, operating costs, leverage, and returns, then organize those assumptions into a simple, defensible model that can be built quickly and explained clearly. It matters in investment banking interviews because real estate private equity work often requires a practical ability to estimate value, evaluate an acquisition, and communicate the main economics without getting lost in unnecessary detail. Interviewers use this kind of question to test whether you understand how a real estate deal works, how the business generates cash flow, and how to translate that into an investment view.
