Commercial/Multi-Family
There are usually two types of investors that invest in commercial and multi-family property. The first type are seasoned real estate investors who have done well in residential real estate investing and have evolved to prefer longer term cash flow deals to quick capital gains. The second type are investors that have done well for themselves in other industries or professions and are smart enough to know the benefits of investing in commercial or multi-family real estate. They typically want to get into real estate to supplement their retirement and/or as an exit strategy from their profession.
For long term cash flow, commercial/multi-family is the most efficient way to invest. Your multiple units are all in one place, making the managing process much simpler. Also, vacancies are much less of an impact because you still have other tenants providing monthly cash flow. Done right, commercial and multi-family is less risk.
The problem for most investors wanting to invest in commercial or multi-family real estate is the entry barrier. While residential real estate can be acquired with low money down deals and fairly easily approved loans, this is not the case with commercial and multi-family properties. Investors need quite a bit more money to begin. Not only are loans more difficult, but down payments are higher. These entry barriers keep 90% of investors out of the commercial or multi-family game. Make no mistake, if you mis-manage these properties, they will fail. However, when well managed, you will wonder why you ever invested in single family homes.
