SWFL REIA General Meeting

When: 9/18/2024

Topic: Building Wealth Over Time: Multifamily vs. Single-Family

When it comes to building wealth over time through real estate, both multifamily and single-family properties offer distinct advantages and challenges. Multifamily properties, with their ability to generate multiple streams of income from a single location, often provide more stable and consistent cash flow, making them a popular choice for investors seeking long-term growth. These properties can also benefit from economies of scale, where operational costs per unit are lower compared to single-family homes. On the other hand, single-family homes typically offer higher appreciation potential in certain markets, along with easier financing and a broader pool of potential buyers when it comes time to sell. Investors must weigh the potential for steady income and operational efficiency of multifamily investments against the appreciation and liquidity advantages of single-family homes. The right choice depends on an investor’s goals, market conditions, and risk tolerance.

 I always title in a revocable grantor trust (land trust). It passes the first glance, if they want to call the note they will. Titling in a trust is problematic for insurance as well. I have always used Subto as a short-term funding solution. The current concentration of most in that space is trying to hold long term. Which happens but can change quickly.

You are trying to invest in real estate, while they are merely traders looking to sell. Many wholesalers don't own any assets themselves, so how can you expect them to truly understand the market? I commend their effort for getting up and taking action, but many don't do the necessary homework and instead rely on YouTube gurus.

Occasionally, you can find great deals from a wholesaler, but be prepared to spend a lot of time sifting through subpar offers to uncover the gems.
