A boutique luxury multifamily building in Englewood, New Jersey, has secured a refinancing loan, showing confidence in high-end rentals beyond the major metros.

Rent Roll

Rent Roll is a document or spreadsheet that lists every unit in a property, its tenant, lease start and end dates, monthly rent, and other charges. It gives landlords and investors a snapshot of income and tenant status. A rent roll is used in underwriting, property valuation, and refinancing assessments. It's essential for tracking cash flow and lease expirations.
