Ben Mallah walks the apartment property's parking lot with Aaron, then gets to the part that determines whether the visit becomes a deal: working it out on paper.

In "The Economics of buying an Apartment complex," a $20 million asking price gets a distinctly unsentimental examination. Ben calculates the preliminary cash-on-cash return, finds it wanting and proposes offering $15 million instead. "Whether this is a good deal comes down to the numbers," he says. The property may be substantial, but the decision comes down to what is left after the costs.

That sit-down calculation is also what viewers are discussing: several focus on applying the analysis to their own property searches and using the return to negotiate. The video includes a sponsored banking and bookkeeping segment, followed by a less spreadsheet-bound itinerary: dinner at Zito's Italian Restaurant, Carla inspecting a convertible Bentley and Gilligan handling used boat motor oil at a recycling center.

The sole upload of the week has reached roughly 162,000 views and is the channel's busiest video right now. "I Invested $100M in 1 City" and "I Offered $12M for this CRAP" supply the next strongest daily viewing, keeping property deals at the center of the channel's momentum.

Subscribers held steady, while today's viewing is below Ben's usual daily level. Among nearby money channels, The Plain Bagel had a larger week and added subscribers; BiggerPockets had a quieter week for views. Ben's contribution was one substantial outing, with the handwritten deal analysis giving viewers something concrete to take away.

What viewers say

I love it when Ben sits down and runs the numbers. I can run the same analysis on properties I’m interested in, and when I see a cap rate below 7%, I can use that as leverage in the negotiation to do what ????? "LOW BALL EM!!!!!!!" Thanks Ben
