INTRODUCTION
Real estate investing has long been a proven method of
building a profitable investment portfolio. Instead of
passively investing in financial markets, investors can “get
their hands dirty” by playing an active role in real estate.
Multifamily properties require even more attention and are
built to deliver a steady stream of income. Here are three
reasons to invest in multifamily properties.
3. EASIER TO FINANCE
THAN SINGLE-FAMILY
PROPERTIES
Although multifamily properties are more expensive than regular
real estate, banks will gladly lend investors’ money for a million
dollar property because it can deliver multiple income streams.
Single-family properties only produce one income stream if investors
plan to buy real estate for rental income. If the renters leave, it is
100 percent vacant. If renters leave a multifamily unit, it has little
impact on the overall vacancy rate.
4. Investing in single-family properties for the long term is not a bad
idea, it will just take longer to build a profitable portfolio. Meanwhile,
savvy investors will buy one multifamily property with 10 units and 10
income streams instead of 10 single-family properties with 10 income
streams. The math is pretty simple using this logic. One property with
10 units will help build a profitable real estate portfolio faster than
buying one single-family property at a time.

USING A PROPERTY
MANAGEMENT
COMPANY
Managing properties, whether they are single family or
multifamily, takes time, patience and money. Most single-
family investors do not have the luxury of contracting
property management companies to take care of their
investments. Multifamily investors, on the other hand, do
contract these companies because of the multiple income
streams.
6. THE BOTTOM LINE ON
MULTIFAMILY
PROPERTIES
Real estate is well-known for its investment diversity.
Investors can use multiple strategies to achieve a high
return-on-investment (ROI). Multifamily investing presents
even more diversity and an opportunity to deliver several
income streams. Financing these properties is easier than
most average investors think, and contracting a property
management company to oversee the properties can lead to
a profitable investment portfolio.
