LOWERED
RISK

Multifamily property is considered a relatively “safe” investment compared to other real estate asset classes. That’s because even during an economic downturn, people need somewhere to live.

 

In fact, during a recession, many people find themselves forced to sell their homes and move into rental housing, instead. It can take a while for people to rebuild their credit after an economic downturn, creating a prolonged demand for multifamily property. Compare this to office or retail properties, for example, in which demand almost always decreases when the economy slows.
