My aim is to build a portfolio of assets that not only offsets expenses but also aligns with my long-term vision of financial diversification and stability.Thank you in advance for your valuable advice!

just about everyone wants cash flow, appreciation, and diversification.

This type of exchange provides investors with a way of increasing liquidity and diversification of their real estate investments, while deferring very costly capital gains and depreciation recapture taxes that may result from the sale of properties.

The biggest advantage to MF is the diversification of risk if one tenant moves out.

If your goal is something longer term or diversification based, maybe treat the down payment like a CD with a big potential bonus that'll pay out when you refi when rates drop, or 1031 exchange into something bigger in 10 years. 

All of these options require some kind of due diligence and action - but syndications seems to be the best option for lower risk, less active (especially after the investment) and diversification. 

All my investment is in stocks and like you I have begun to not compare which is better, but as 'diversification'. 

Risk diversification, don't pick a sector, don't time the market, no leverage,  etc.However, what is real estate investing? 

In terms of the type of investment, multi-family properties often provide more income potential and risk diversification compared to single-family homes, although they might require more management.
