INSIGHT

Cash Flow by Property Type

  • Single-family homes are yielding near zero cash flow, while multifamily properties offer 3-5.5% cash flow.
  • This is because single-family homes are priced by comparable sales, while multifamily properties are valued based on income streams.
ADVICE

1031 Exchange Strategy

  • Consider selling single-family homes and using a 1031 exchange to invest in multifamily.
  • This "sell high, buy low" strategy allows investors to capitalize on the current market downturn in commercial real estate.
ANECDOTE

Multifamily BRRRR Case Study

  • Chris presents a case study of an investor who sold a single-family home and 1031 exchanged into a 12-unit multifamily property.
  • This increased the investor's cash flow threefold and offered greater potential for long-term retirement income.
