Multi-Family Property

Multi-unit rental investing with Picket: Quick start guide

Definition:

A Multi-Family Property is a residential building or complex designed to house multiple separate units or families. These properties include duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and large apartment buildings. Each unit in a multi-family property can be rented out individually, providing the owner with multiple streams of rental income from a single property.

🔍 Did You Know?
Many investors use multi-family properties as a way to scale their real estate portfolios faster, as they can generate more rental income compared to single-family homes.

Examples:

Example 1:
A real estate investor purchases a fourplex, with each unit rented out for $1,200 per month, providing $4,800 in total rental income.

Example 2:
An investor acquires a 20-unit apartment building and leases out each unit to tenants, generating consistent monthly cash flow and long-term appreciation.

Why It’s Important:

Multi-family properties allow investors to generate multiple streams of income from a single asset, providing a more scalable way to invest in real estate. Additionally, vacancies in one unit can be offset by rental income from other units.

Who Should Care:

  • Real estate investors looking to scale their portfolios.
  • Property managers overseeing multiple rental units.
  • Lenders offering financing for income-producing properties.
