One compelling advantage of MFR’s is the larger pool of tenants; and having more units to work with makes it easier for investors to earn their investment back quickly. Another underlying benefit of multi-family properties is there’s less risk involved. Unlike SFR’s, where income is lost when vacant, MFR’s are comprised of several units which alleviates the total economic loss. A perk for investors who prefer to be less involved in the management of their rental properties is the ability to take advantage of property management services; a multi-family rental typically generates enough income to afford their owners this luxury without significantly cutting into their margins. More income equates to higher value; since MFR’s consist of numerous units, translating to multiple streams of income, these properties are generally valued higher than single-family properties, dependent on comparable sales as rentals.
