Rising interest rates have 🏢 multifamily apartment investors feeling a biiiit concerned…to say the least. 

If you’re a real estate investor, or interested in real estate investing, a common place to start is with single-family home rentals. 

From flipping properties to renting out homes – there are plenty of ways that starting with single-family homes can help you get your foot in the door and kickstart your real estate investing journey. 

Heck…that’s exaaaactly where we started, many years ago! 🤚

We’re truly thankful for the real estate crash course that single-family home rentals offered us since we were essentially starting from scratch back then. So, yes…even though we started small (one house at a time), we were able to learn how to handle things like financing, renovations, managing tenants, and soooo much more. 

The key word here is that we STARTED with single-family homes. There were benefits, which we’ll cover today, but we did not choose to stick with that investment strategy — for very good reasons. 

Those humble beginnings were helpful because they set us up for what we do now – managing multi-million dollar apartment buildings and helping our investors make TONS of money through apartment syndication! 🤩🤩

Want to know why and how we made the switch from single-family homes to multifamily apartments? 

Let’s get into what it’s like to level up your real estate investing and become a savvy, multifamily investor with limitless possibilities ahead. 

Here’s what we’re covering:

• The perks of starting with single-family home rentals
• Now for the drawbacks…why single-family homes are not the best for long-term success
• The amazing advantages of multifamily apartment investing 
• The best first step to multifamily investing success

The perks of starting with single-family home rentals

Liiiike we mentioned already…this is NOT a single-family home bash-fest. We totally see the value in dipping your toes into residential rentals, and learning important skills for other real estate investing ventures. 

The two main benefits of single-family home rentals are simple financing and flexible exit options. 

Let’s briefly chat about how these benefits are great and can prepare you for bigger and better things (ahem…like multifamily apartments 😉😉).

Since purchasing single-family homes for renting or flipping is similar to purchasing a home for yourself, financing is on the simpler side. If you’re new to real estate investing, learning how to finance your investment is a super important step in the process, and single-family homes can help you catch on pretty quickly. 

For residential properties, you can get up to ten loans, depending on your credit and income, and can usually secure a pretty low down payment.

That’s about as simple as it comes in terms of financing real estate investments! 

We’re also big fans of flexibility over here, so we do love having exit options for investments. 

With single-family homes, you can do long-term or short-term rentals, list and sell to owners or investors or even go the Airbnb route. It’s nice to have flexibility for what you want to do with each of your residential properties. 

Now for the drawbacks…why single-family homes are not the best for long-term success

The truth is, that the benefits to single-family home rentals only get you so far before you start wanting more – more properties, more returns, more opportunities, etc. 

And take it from us…more is NOT better with single-family home rentals. 😅😅

Sure. Purchasing more rental properties may increase your income a bit, but it will also increase the amount of hassle you deal with every single day. 

Each one of those single-family homes comes with its own responsibilities and risks.

We’re talking about renovations, unexpected damages, taxes, property management tasks, insurance, and record-keeping for every single house. 

Plus, the value of residential properties is really dependent on the other properties in each neighborhood, and there’s also a cap on the number of conventional loans one person can have. 

What does all of this mean? 

Well, it’s pretty clear that your opportunities for growth and expansion are pretty limited when it comes to single-family home rentals. 

But of course, that’s where multifamily investing comes in – to open up all new possibilities for your real estate investing future and beyond. ✨

The amazing advantages of multifamily apartment investing

The ability to scale is a big deal in real estate investing, because once you get the hang of things, of course you’ll want to keep expanding your portfolio and growing your income. 

That’s one of the very best things about multifamily apartment investing – the ability to own, sell, and manage lots of residential units at once.

Unlike single-family homes, you don’t need to purchase tons of different properties to bring in more income. You just need bigger properties – AKA apartment buildings! 

Think about all that work of managing and overseeing properties, while dealing with repairs, taxes, brokers, paperwork…you get the idea.

With multifamily investing, you can assemble ONE team to cover all the units within one apartment complex. It just makes sense, doesn’t it? 

Ahh, we love the sound of making tons more money while also making our lives simpler. 🙌

In addition to being able to scale your investment portfolio quickly, multifamily investing also gives you the power to directly control the value of your properties.

Commercial properties are different like that, you see, because their worth is tied to their generated income. 

There are plenty of ways you can raise the income of apartment buildings. It’s pretty simple, because by updating one building, you’re really affecting multiple streams of income due to every single unit within the building. 

Now, if you’re thinking that it sounds too risky to put ALL your focus on one building, we totally understand. That’s why multifamily investing works best when you spread your investments through multiple properties. 

And just like that, you have mitigated risk AND greatly increased your passive income and returns. 

Sure, the financing for all of these large apartment complexes can be a bit trickier to navigate than buying individual homes, but that doesn’t need to stop you from reaping the multifamily investing benefits. We can help you navigate every step in the process while making it as simple as possible. 👌

The best first step to multifamily investing success

We’ll say it once and we’ll say it again…we don’t regret our time learning all about real estate investing through single-family home rentals.

But at the same time, we knew it wasn’t in line with our big dreams and goals.

We HAD to make the switch to multifamily investing to create sustainable, long-term wealth, success, and growth. 

And you know what? You can do the same!! 

Think about the goals you have for your future. We don’t mean just how much money you want to make, but also what you want your lifestyle to look like. Do you want to be running around from rental property to rental property, constantly stressing about every little thing that could go wrong, or would you rather be spending time with friends and family – resting easy as your wealth keeps rolling in? 

Reeeeally tough choice, isn’t it? 😉😉

When you’re ready to level up your real estate investing, grow your portfolio, and start working towards a future of time and financial freedom, multifamily apartment investing is the clear choice.

And don’t worry! Unlike us, you don’t have to know everything (or anything) about real estate to get started! 

We created a special starting point for people just like you – where you can connect with like-minded investors, grow your real estate knowledge, and get all the guidance and support needed to change your life through multifamily apartment investing. 👏
