📊 Why Small Multifamily Is Booming in 2025
With interest rates still elevated, cash flow is tighter—and investors are shifting away from single-family rentals.
Here’s why duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes are in high demand:
- Multiple income streams = more stability
- Shared maintenance and insurance savings
- Higher cash flow potential per unit
- Eligible for residential financing (under 5 units)

💸 Off-Market = Better Numbers
These properties are hard to find on MLS. Why?
- Most MLS multifamily listings are overbid or overpriced
