What types of multi-residential buildings does Armen handle?<\/summary>\r\n
Armen manages sell and buy mandates across the full range of multi-residential investment assets, from small plex buildings and six-unit income properties to larger apartment buildings. The mandate structure is the same regardless of building size: a clear valuation, a targeted process, and consistent communication throughout.<\/div>\r\n<\/details>
How is a multi-residential building valued?<\/summary>\r\n
Multi-residential valuation is based on a combination of the building's net operating income, comparable transaction data for similar assets in the area, and the physical condition and tenancy profile of the building. The Tribunal administratif du logement framework is a material factor: rent levels, lease types, and the potential for rent adjustment all affect how buyers underwrite the asset and therefore what they are willing to pay.<\/div>\r\n<\/details>
What is the difference between a plex and a larger multi-residential building as an investment?<\/summary>\r\n
A plex, typically a duplex, triplex, or sixplex, is a small multi-residential building common across Montreal neighbourhoods. Larger apartment buildings operate under different financing structures, management demands, and buyer profiles. Both are active investment categories in the market, and both are asset types that Armen handles on the sell and buy side.<\/div>\r\n<\/details>
How long does it take to sell a multi-residential building?<\/summary>\r\n
Transaction timelines vary depending on building size, price point, tenancy profile, and current market conditions. Armen provides a realistic timeline estimate at the start of every sell mandate based on the specific asset and the active buyer pool for that building type. Accurate pricing and targeted marketing are the primary factors that determine how quickly a qualified buyer is identified.<\/div>\r\n<\/details>
Can you source multi-residential buildings that are not publicly listed?<\/summary>\r\n
Yes. A portion of multi-residential transactions occur off-market, building owners who want a discreet process or who are approached directly before any public listing. Buyers working with an acquisition mandate through AMRE have access to these off-market opportunities in addition to what is publicly available.<\/div>\r\n<\/details>","var_type":"0","var_align":"0","opt_anchor":"","opt_caption_tag":"","opt_title_tag":"","opt_theme":"0","opt_theme_style_override":false,"opt_radius":1,"opt_text":1,"opt_space_top":"","opt_space_bottom":"","opt_text_color":"","opt_background_color":"","opt_border":false,"opt_background_image":"","opt_background_overlay":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"cube_26","cta_content":{"has_caption":true,"caption":"Apartment
