Rentals:Multi-Family vs. Single Family...No Question...

Here are some of the advantages that investing in Multi-units Buildings has over Single Families.

• Cash flow on a multi-family is always greater than that of a single family. Simply because you have more rents coming in. The more units you have under one roof, the less risk you have. If you have a single family house and you lose your tenant, you've lost 100% of your income. In some instances, this could be your entire profit for the year. If you had a three family and lost a tenant, you still have two rent coming in to pay your expenses.
• Economies of scale are in mulit-unit buildings. If you have six single family houses opposed to one six family, you have six roofs to be replaced or repaired, six lawns to be maintain, six tenants spread out through out your city or town. In your six family you have one roof, one lawn and your tenants are centrally located. Economies of scale are in your favor.
• There's a lot less competition than there are in single family houses. Why? Because no one is out there teaching how to do it and all the single family guru's make flipping single family houses sound as easy as chewing gum in the dark. The smart investors put multi-units in their portfolios along with single family houses.
• Because of the bigger cash flows, you can afford to hire management companies to manage your tenants, thus eliminating that hassle while you go out and do what you do best (or should do best), find and finance them.
• Your pay days are a lot bigger when you finally sell your property. This is because an apartment complex cost more than single family homes, because of this they obtain a greater dollar amount of appreciation. For example, a $100,000 single family house will in a market that appreciates 10% will be worth $110,000 while a three family house worth $300,000 in the same market (10% appreciation) will increase to $330,000. That's $20,000 more money in your pocket! You've know a few people who have made a lot of money flipping single family houses, but if you think of the all the people you know who have become extremely wealthy through real estate, you'll realize that they did it through owning multi-units (apartments).
