Definition: Apartment & multifamily investment involves the purchase of projects with multiple, usually at least five or more, residential rental units. Though five units is used by many as the entry level apartment or multifamily project, these properties can be very large, with hundreds of units. The lure of this type of investment is the excellent cash flow potential, partially due to the economy of scale in expenses by having a large number of units in one location.
Alternate Spellings: multi-family, multi family
