one of the most overlooked and lucrative areas in real estate is apartment investing. When you compare the risks and rewards to single family investing, there is a dramatic and convincing argument to invest in multifamily.
Apartment investing may intimidate many people and they feel as though it's out of their reach. Just because apartment buildings cost more money than single family homes does not mean that they are harder to raise money for. In fact, it's often true that the larger the property is, the easier the funding becomes.
Multifamily real estate is a great area to get into because there's really not that much competition for the properties. When you find a good deal on a single family house, there will probably be several other investors ready to make the deal as well. They think the same way you're used to thinking. They believe that its a safer investment because you only need to borrow a little amount of money. It's a figure that they can get their head around without stretching very much. It's well within their comfort zone. However, apartment investing is a different type of transaction.
It's easier to get the money you need, but you'll be dealing with bigger numbers. Instead of borrowing thousands of dollars, you're borrowing millions of dollars. It's difficult for the common person to get their head around figures like that. They just don't feel comfortable borrowing that kind of money. This is what keeps most people out of the multifamily housing industry.
Most people simply refuse to leave their comfort zones, which is what keeps most people poor. However, understanding the leverage that apartments bring is key because you will realize that risk can be lowered and reward can be multiplied many times.
Understanding the enormous potential of apartment investing to generate cash flow and equity with lessened risk and economies of scale is the key to creating inter-generational wealth. Getting past the fear of large number is usually the first step. Luckily, it's an easier step than you might realize. - 23309
