Commercial & Multi-Family Real Estate
Built on real numbers. Whether it's your first multi-family or a commercial acquisition, the deal only works if the analysis is honest. Dylan brings that to every transaction in Leominster, Fitchburg, Gardner, and across North Central MA.
How Dylan Works With Investors
Investment real estate is a numbers game. Emotion has no place in it. Here's the framework used for every deal evaluation in Central MA.
Investment Goal Alignment
Cash flow vs. appreciation vs. value-add are different strategies that require different property profiles. The first conversation establishes what you're actually trying to accomplish — monthly income, long-term equity, portfolio growth, or a 1031 exchange into a larger asset. The search and analysis approach is built around that goal.
Deal Analysis & Underwriting
Every property gets a real analysis before you waste time touring it. Current rent roll vs. market rents, gross rent multiplier, cap rate, cash-on-cash return, and projected NOI. You see the deal on paper before you see it in person. Dylan owns investment property himself — the analysis is grounded in real ownership experience, not spreadsheet theory.

Due Diligence Packaging
Closing an investment deal requires more documentation than a residential sale. Rent rolls, leases, association documents, operating expense history, deferred maintenance review, and zoning verification are all part of the process. Every piece is organized and reviewed before offer and after acceptance — nothing gets missed at the closing table.
Offer, Negotiation & Closing
Investment property negotiation is different from residential. Price adjustments based on inspection findings, rent abatements, lease assignments, and operating cost credits all factor in. The goal is to close at the number the analysis supports — not the seller's asking price. Dylan is direct, patient, and focused on the net outcome.

In the Leominster, Fitchburg, and Gardner MA corridor, cap rates on multi-family properties typically range from 5–8% depending on condition, location, and current rent levels. Value-add properties with below-market rents can push higher. North Central Massachusetts offers cap rates that are increasingly difficult to find closer to Boston.
Two-to-four unit properties can often be financed with conventional residential loans, including FHA owner-occupant financing if you plan to live in one unit. Five or more units require commercial financing — typically 20–30% down with higher rates and shorter amortization periods. Dylan works with lenders experienced in both residential and commercial investment financing in MA and NH.
Key items include: full lease stack with rent escalations and renewal options, operating expense history, deferred maintenance assessment covering roof, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing, rent roll comparison of current vs. market rents, zoning compliance verification, and for commercial properties, a Phase I environmental review. Dylan organizes and reviews all of this before offer submission and after acceptance.
