info_outlineIn this video, Tony Stephan explains why small multifamily real estate (typically 2–4 units) is considered a strong investment for several reasons, especially for new or intermediate investors. Tony was also joined by Nawaf Kalasho of Kalasho CO and they discussed why they've built an impressive portfolio of over 700+ small multifamily units.
Small multifamily real estate is the safest and best investment for every day Americans to build wealth. Here's why:
Economies of Scale
You get multiple income-producing units under one roof, which makes management and maintenance more efficient compared to owning multiple single-family homes in different locations.
Better Cash Flow
With more than one tenant, you’re spreading risk. Even if one unit is vacant, the others can still generate income, reducing the impact on your bottom line compared to a single-family rental.
- Easier Financing Than Larger Properties
- Properties with 2–4 units still qualify for residential financing, which means:
- Lower interest rates compared to commercial loans.
- You can use FHA, VA, or conventional loans.
- You may only need 3.5% down with an FHA loan if you live in one unit (house hacking).
Appreciation + Rental Income
Multifamily properties benefit from both market appreciation and cash flow. In hot rental markets, both the value of the property and the rents can increase over time.
Tax Benefits
You get depreciation, mortgage interest deductions, repair write-offs, and more—just like other real estate investments—but spread over multiple units.
Exit Flexibility
You can:
- Sell to another investor.
- Sell as a single-family home with rental upside.
- Convert units to short-term rentals.
- Refinance and pull out equity.
Strong Demand
Affordable rental units are in constant demand, especially in urban and suburban areas where housing costs are rising.
Portfolio Growth
Small multifamily properties can be a stepping stone to larger commercial real estate. They offer a way to learn the ropes of managing multiple units without the complexity of large buildings.
