In this short video, Catherine Bell and a speaker discuss a rapid underwriting tool used to evaluate small multifamily properties such as fourplexes. The speaker recounts how the tool instantly flagged a potential purchase in Citrus Heights (price $899,000) as a "no‑go" based on the purchase price, required down payment, and overall numbers. Catherine emphasizes the value of this speed, noting that the decision was made within seconds to minutes, allowing the investor to move on quickly. The conversation highlights that the deal could only become viable with a significantly lower price ($650,000) or through owner financing, underscoring how fast no‑go alerts can save time and protect capital.

I did run a couple of fourplexes and small apartment buildings, and it said no-go. It was like no-go based on the numbers, the purchase price, based on the amount you would have to put down. I love that.
And do you know why I love that? Why? Because of how long it takes to actually underwrite a deal. How long did it take for you to— for it to tell you this is a no-go?
Within a sec, within a couple minutes, and then I moved on from it quickly. Right. So at first I was like, oh, $899,000 for a fourplex, it's in Citrus Heights, which is close to Sacramento. And normally I would have been like, oh, this is a good deal. And then it was like, no, it's not. Unless you get owner financing, unless you get it at $650,000, it's not a good deal.
