Not interested in buying one house at a time?  Many people have created great long-term wealth and cash flow today by investing in multifamily properties.  Are you thinking big apartment complexes?  It doesn't have to be.  Most experienced multifamily investors recommend starting small (duplexes, quadraplexes) and then working your way up.

Multifamily properties have some great benefits over single-family properties:

• More properties in one central location
• If one unit is vacant there are other units paying the mortgage
• Once you get commercial loans the lender considers the property as a business and lends based on the property and not you
• The property value is based on the income of the property less than the current market
• If you have enough units you can have a dedicated property manager on site instead of a shared property management company.
