What’s the best rental property for the average investor? It’s not a single-family rental, it’s not a large apartment building, it’s not even a duplex or a triplex—it’s a “sweet spot” small multifamily. These investment properties, ranging from five to 25 units, make more money, are easier to manage, and help you scale faster to achieve financial freedom. Even large multifamily investing experts like Brian Burke are ditching the huge apartment complexes to buy these.

But what makes these small multifamily investment properties so much better than their bigger and smaller counterparts? We’re discussing the massive investing opportunities in 2025 for these properties with Brian today and how new investors and those looking for a manageable portfolio can leverage these properties to reach financial freedom.

These types of properties are still experiencing low prices with limited competition, which means that if you know about them, you already have an advantage. How long do we have until multifamily prices rebound and these investments become out of reach for regular investors? How do you analyze a small multifamily property to ensure it makes you monthly passive income? Brian shares his wisdom and gives an exact timeline for when it may be too late to buy.
