Multi Family Expert
Why Working With Ben Wood Gives You an Edge in Multi-Family Real Estate
Multi-family real estate isn’t just another category on a search filter.
It’s a different mindset, a different skill set, and a completely different way of analyzing property. That’s why investors who are serious about income, appreciation, and long-term strategy work with an agent who actually understands the business from the inside.
That’s where I come in.
I don’t just help clients find multi-family properties — I own and operate income-producing multi-families myself. That experience shapes every recommendation I make and every deal I negotiate.
Investor Eyes, Not Just Agent Eyes
When I search for multi-family properties, I’m not looking at paint colors or staging.
I’m looking at:
Actual rent rolls vs. market rents
Operating expenses and true cash flow
Tenant profiles and lease structures
Deferred maintenance that affects returns
Upside potential most buyers miss
Because I’ve lived it, I know what matters after the closing — not just what looks good on paper.
Smarter Searches = Better Opportunities
Multi-family opportunities rarely fall into your lap.
I build targeted searches that go beyond what public sites show, including:
Off-market and quiet listings
Compass Private Exclusives
Properties miscategorized or overlooked
Assets with repositioning or value-add potential
The best deals often aren’t obvious — they’re found through experience and timing.
Underwriting Comes First
Every multi-family deal starts with numbers.
I help clients break down:
Cap rates (real ones, not advertised ones)
Cash-on-cash returns
Repair and capital improvement costs
Financing scenarios and debt service
Exit strategies
You’re not guessing whether a deal works — you know before you commit.
Negotiation With the End in Mind
Multi-family negotiations aren’t emotional — they’re strategic.
Inspection findings, tenant issues, zoning, fire code compliance, and financing timelines all play a role. I know how to protect your downside without killing the deal, because I’ve been on both sides of the table.
Rhode Island Focused, Investor Tested
Rhode Island is a tight market. Inventory is limited. Good multi-family properties don’t sit long.
Knowing:
Which towns favor investors
Where rents are moving
Which properties will appraise clean
How municipalities view multi-family assets
…is just as important as finding the property itself.
The Bottom Line
Anyone can send you listings.
I help you:
Identify real opportunities
Avoid expensive mistakes
Maximize income and appreciation
Build a portfolio that actually performs
If you’re serious about investing in multi-family real estate — whether it’s your first duplex or your tenth property — you want an agent who does more than talk the talk.
