We&#8217;ve put together a checklist on what to look for when deciding on investing in a multifamily developments. Let&#8217;s dive in.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>Location, Location, Location<\/h3>\n<p>It may sound cliche when it comes to real estate investing, but location of your multifamily development project is of the utmost importance. With more tenants, every unit will need to appeal to renters. Most renters choose where they rent primarily because of the location. Investors should look for high-growth, high-yield areas (such as Austin or San Antonio), where properties and prime locations are in high demand.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>Total Number of Units<\/h3>\n<p>After finding a multifamily investment opportunity, you&#8217;ll then want to evaluate the property as a whole. Investors should consider the number of units on the property, including the total number of rooms in each unit. Obviously the higher number of units and total number of rooms, the potential for higher investment capital and higher risk. For those just starting out, consider beginning with investing in duplexes, triplexes, or quadplexes, as these properties offer the most upside with the least amount of risk for beginners.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>Income Potential<\/h3>\n<p>Investors in the industry to make money, there&#8217;s no two ways about it. So, the next step in the process needs to be evaluating how much income potential the multifamily property can accrue. As a general rule of thumb, the 50% rule is recommended. Meaning 50% of an investment&#8217;s income should be spent on the expenses rather than the mortgage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>Total Number of Units<\/h3>\n<p>After finding a multifamily investment opportunity, you&#8217;ll then want to evaluate the property as a whole.

They can also be several buildings within one complex. The most common examples are duplexes, townhouses, and some types of condos. Each unit tends to have its own living space, a separate kitchen, and a bathroom. A multifamily property will generally consist of owning the property and the land on one recorded deed. In some cases, it can be owned by one or more parties.<\/p>\n<p>While they are the least common type of residential buildings, investing in multifamily properties is an immensely\u00a0favorable strategy among investors\u00a0thanks to their additional source of monthly income, along with slow but steady appreciation. As an investor, the advantages of owning a multifamily property include:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>More Cash Flow<\/h3>\n<p>The major difference between a single-family investment property and a multifamily investment property is that the multifamily property produces multiple forms of monthly income. These investments represent an innovative opportunity to generate additional income from one investment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>More Control Over Value<\/h3>\n<p>The more income a property receives, the higher the value is. Multifamily properties are comprised of more units, which means earning multiple streams of income. Therefore, these investments are generally valued higher than single-family homes, dependent on comparable sales as rentals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>Larger Pool of Possible Tenants<\/h3>\n<p>One of the underlying benefits of investing in multifamily properties is less risk. How, you ask? Because, unlike single-family units, where\u00a0income is lost when the home is vacant, multifamily properties have numerous units and alleviate the total economic loss for investors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>Scalability<\/h3>\n<p>Multifamily investments epitomize scalability. Rather than purchasing one property at a time, these investments allow for the acquisition of multiple properties within one building. They are perfect for those looking to grow their\u00a0real estate investment portfolio\u00a0and take their business to the next level with the option for investors to venture into the arena of mixed-use and apartment investing down the road.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">[vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Casey Development, Ltd: Multifamily Development Investors&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;]<div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>With population and economic growth expected to continue booming in cities like Austin, San Antonio, San Marcos, and New Braunfels, multifamily real estate development is only going to continue to grow.
