Difference between multi-family vs smaller buildings

[Bradley Jernigan]

Which would you rather own? I currently own a 42 portfolio between two multi-family buildings in Dallas, Tx. I am looking to scale to 300+ units within the next three years. One question I have is should I concentrate more on larger multi-family deals  (75+ units) or owning multiple smaller units. Buying a bigger multi-family building can offer higher rental income potential and economies of scale. However, it might require a larger investment, more management, and possibly greater financial risk. Smaller buildings may be more manageable and affordable, but their income potential could be limited.
