Is it a good time to buy multifamily?

In my view, despite all the uncertainty of the pandemic, the multifamily real estate sector continues to thrive and remains an excellent place to deploy capital if stable returns and inflation hedge are sought. Two- to four-unit multifamily properties are a great way for first-time investors to immerse themselves in the waters of rental properties, as they are typically financed by banks in the same way as single-family homes. Sometimes an investor buys a multifamily property without the landlord occupying it or hiring a property manager, which can make management more time consuming, requiring the owner to visit the unit in person to make repair and maintenance requests.
