When to buy Multi-family?

[Nicolas Escobar]

Hello All!

I am a noob to the real estate world, and have been consuming as much information as possible in the last few months.  Upon much consideration, my fiancé and I have decided to make our first home purchase a multi family property here in Austin,TX.  We will be buying in 2016, but I was wondering if there is a better time of year to buy multifamily?  Is there more inventory during the spring and summer vs winter?  Are prices cheaper in the winter?  I know for SF homes there are specified "seasons" for buying, does this apply to multifamily?

Thank you all for your help and input! Without BP I would still be lost
