Single-Family vs. Multifamily Investing

There is a spectrum of options available to investors...

Single-family properties, as the name suggests, are standalone properties designed to house one family. They are often the first step for many investors getting started in real estate due to their lower price point and perceived simplicity.

Benefits of single-family properties include:

  1. Less initial capital required: Single-family properties generally cost less to acquire than multifamily properties.
  2. Larger buyer and renter market: There is a large market of tenants and buyers interested in single-family homes.
  3. Simplicity: Each property is separate, making management and accounting relatively straightforward.

However, there are also challenges:

  1. Vacancy risk: When a single-family property is vacant, there's no rental income, but expenses like mortgage payments and maintenance still persist.
  2. Management intensive: Each property requires separate management, which can be time-consuming for investors with a sizable portfolio.
  3. Slow growth: Building a portfolio can be slow, as each property must be acquired individually.
