MF hedges against market shifts and cap ex. also doors are a multiplier X so if i have 100 units under 1 roof and 1 of my tenants moves out and trashes the place well thats only 1% of my expense.. as opposed to 1 SFR which would be 100% of my expense.. the only aspect I could potentially agree with is the liquidity.. but lets start off with IF you are investing in holding real estate then you SHOULD be holding LONG TERM. so liquidity is only a tertiary calculation.

@Vlad Krokhmal I would go work for another PM firm to see how they operate, SOPs, professionalism, and be able to show experience to prospective clients when you go live in 2 years.

I am 17 years old and live just south of Milwaukee.
