Multifamily Investing
Scale your portfolio faster with duplexes, triplexes, quads, and apartment buildings.
Why Multifamily?
Multifamily properties offer economies of scale, reduced vacancy risk, and faster portfolio growth compared to single-family rentals.
Small Multifamily (2-4 Units)
- Can use residential financing (FHA, conventional)
- House hacking opportunity — live in one unit, rent the others
- Easier to manage than larger buildings
- Good entry point for new investors
Commercial Multifamily (5+ Units)
- Valued based on income (cap rate), not comps
- Commercial loans with different terms
- More opportunity to force appreciation
- Professional management typically required
Key Metrics
