> The market we work
What multifamily & investment property actually looks like in Phoenix metro.
Arizona multifamily is a tale of two markets right now. Duplex and small-multifamily transaction volume in Phoenix metro stayed active through 2024 and into 2025 because the buyer pool, owner-occupants and small private investors, is large and price-disciplined. Mid-size apartment trades slowed as cap rates expanded and bridge debt repriced. We work both ends.
For investors searching multifamily for sale arizona, the inventory question splits between on-market and off-market. On-market product, what you find on Zillow, LoopNet, MLS, is heavily picked over the moment it lists. Duplex for sale phoenix searches return dozens of listings, but the pricing-to-condition spread is wide and most of the well-priced product is gone in a week. Fourplex for sale near me and fourplex for sale in arizona inquiries cluster around a similar pattern, the right deals move fast and the wrong deals sit.
Off-market sourcing is where the desk earns its keep.

Off-market sourcing is where the desk earns its keep. David runs direct-owner outreach, estate referrals, and private investor introductions. That deal flow doesn't show up on portals.

Investment property strategy work covers the underwriting and
Investment property strategy work covers the underwriting and structure layer, what cap rate is actually fair given the asset's age, location, and CapEx need; what loan structure pencils given current rate and DSCR cover; whether a 1031 exchange improves the post-tax outcome compared to a cash sale.
> Who this is for
Three operator profiles we work with most.
First-time small-multifamily buyers
- Looking for a duplex for sale phoenix or fourplex for sale in arizona to start a rental portfolio.
- Want underwriting help on rent comps, vacancy assumption, and CapEx reserve before bidding.
Portfolio investors scaling up
- Acquiring 5-to-50-unit value-add or 50-plus-unit institutional multifamily.
- Need off-market deal flow, not the same OM that 200 buyers already saw.
Owners exiting
- Disposing a duplex or fourplex, or exiting a mid-size apartment with a 1031 plan.
- Want disposition strategy that maximizes net proceeds, not just gross sale price.
> How we work
A repeatable process, not a sales pitch.
Underwriting before offer
Rent comp, expense ratio, T-12 reconciliation, CapEx walkthrough. The number on the listing is the seller's number. The number you bid is yours, and we build it.
Off-market sourcing
Most of the deals worth buying in Arizona small-multifamily never list on the MLS or LoopNet. We source from owner relationships, attorney referrals, estate situations, and direct outreach.
Disposition or 1031 pivot
Selling a duplex into a 1031 exchange and rolling into a small apartment is a different transaction than a clean cash sale. We sequence the timing, identify replacement targets, and coordinate with the qualified intermediary.
