Higher Returns in Multifamily

- Investors can expect around 18% returns annually versus typical 10% in stock markets.
Cost Segregation Tax Advantage
- Use cost segregation in multifamily investing to accelerate depreciation benefits.
- This can allow you to depreciate up to 40% of your investment in year one, reducing tax liability.
Use One Percent Rule
- Apply the "one percent rule" to evaluate multifamily deals: rent per unit should be about 1% of unit price.
- Deals not meeting this on a per-door basis are usually poor investments.
