Investing in multifamily real estate as a passive investor has many key benefits. You can grow your wealth more quickly than investing in single and small multifamily properties (less than 5 units), grow your portfolio quicker, potentially earn returns that outpace other investment vehicles, enjoy tax benefits through depreciation, and not have to do any of the actual property management work! Multifamily real estate is generally defined as apartment communities or apartment complexes. Many such multifamily apartment communities are purchased by large corporations, but others are purchased by a team of people like you and us, whereby each passive investor contributes capital and receives a return based on the profits earned by the property.

Every investment has some form of risk, however we and many people we know have seen and enjoyed success in multifamily investing, and we want to share these four top benefits that investor enjoy!
