info_outlineTransitioning from single-family rentals to multifamily properties can offer numerous benefits, particularly for investors seeking to expand their real estate portfolios. Here are the key advantages:
Economies of Scale: Efficiency: Managing multiple units under one roof reduces costs for maintenance, property management, and utilities (e.g., shared systems like HVAC, plumbing).
Increased Cash Flow Potential: More Units = More Rent: A multifamily property typically generates higher overall income than a single-family home.
Vacancy Risk is Spread: In SFRs, one vacancy = 100% vacancy. In multifamily, one vacancy might only be 10% or less of total income.
Better Financing Terms: Commercial Loans: Lenders often view multifamily properties (5+ units) as less risky due to diversified income streams, which can lead to:
Lower interest rates
Longer amortization periods
More flexible underwriting criteria
Forced Appreciation: Unlike SFRs, which are typically valued based on comps, multifamily properties are valued based on income (NOI). This means you can:
Force Appreciation by increasing rents or reducing expenses.
More directly influence the value of the property.
Tax Advantages Depreciation: More structures = more depreciation.
Cost Segregation: Multifamily properties offer more opportunities for accelerated depreciation through cost segregation studies.
1031 Exchanges: Easier to scale up and defer taxes when trading into larger multifamily properties.
Stronger Hedge Against Market Downturns
Demand Stability: During economic downturns, more people rent rather than buy, often boosting multifamily occupancy.
Affordability: Multifamily units tend to be more affordable than single-family homes, keeping them in demand in tougher markets.
