The multifamily asset class is proven to beat inflation, provide cash flow and outsized returns from the increase in equity through value-add strategies. Further, it provides a need to communities who could use safe and decent housing as the supply of housing cannot keep up with demand. All stakeholders can win from investing in this asset class. However, not all properties are created equally. Below are the general characteristics of great multifamily investments.
