Competing with Large Multi-Family

Morning All,

Branching off a previous thread (linked below), consideration of a multi-family strategy has come around again. Not my current focus (SFR), due to a few primary reasons:

  • Higher transience = more issues
  • Lower grade tenant, on average
  • Market saturation 

That last item is the largest concern. With the long bull-run there has been an explosion of large multi-family construction all over the twin cities, inner city as well as suburbs. An example: Springs at Apple Valley, https://www.springsapartments.com/apartments/mn/ap...

Less focused on the location, and more the concept below. 


Two queries: 

  • At what size do small multi-family structures begin to see competition from the larger outfits? (all sizes, only once you hit a 10-unit structure, etc.)
  • For the current small multi-family investors, has the explosion of large multi-family impacted your strategies in recent years? If so, how?
