Multi-family properties in 2021
We keep hearing that in 2021 real state investments will likely see a softening of the market. Because of it, we are facing a decision to either hold off on purchasing another property for now or move ahead and purchase another property anyway - Our goal has been to purchase and rent as a long term investment. If we choose to go ahead, we are wondering if the property value in less likely to be affected if the property is a multi-family unit. Or, if the softening of the market really does happen, would it affect both type of properties the same. Any insights are appreciated.
Happy Holidays everybody!

If you’re buying and holding for long term cashflow, not sure what your concerned with if the deal meets your numbers. I would probability adjust your income at say 90% or 85% and see can you still make the cashflow you need for the deal to make sense. If so go. If the market softens more than 10/15% well, that’s just a bad beat that most investors will get hit on.
