So you're at a crossroads as a real estate investor.

Should you own single family or multifamily rental properties?

Which is going to make you more wealth and cash flow?

And which is easier to own?

Well, those are the questions we're going to tackle in this edition of Ask Coach.

And we're getting started right now.

Welcome to the podcast, Real Estate Investing with Coach Carson. I'm your host Chad Carson. You can also call me Coach Carson, and this is a show to help you get out of the financial grind so you can spend your time doing more of what matters. Today's question for Ask Coach was inspired by many discussions I've seen in the YouTube comments and also in my private community, Rental Property Mastery. If you haven't heard of Rental Property

Mastery, it's the place where I coach and help small and mighty rental investors to acquire

more deals, raise more money, and turn their rentals into passive income so they can achieve

financial freedom. You can check it out or join at the link in the YouTube

in the podcast description below. To help me answer today's question, I brought on one of the smartest

real estate investors and professionals I know, Arion Shihai. He's from Houston, Texas,

and he's also known as the investing architect. Now let's get to our conversation. First,

let me start by going over the advantages of investing in single family

properties and then we can take them one at a time. I would say the biggest advantage of single

family properties is the lower entry cost and sort of the ease to get started. So when you invest

in a single family property, you can do so with 20% down if it's a pure investment,

or you can house hack it or turn your residences into rentals as you go. So that allows you to

acquire them with as little as zero to five percent down, depending on if you're doing FHA, VA,

or conventional mortgages.

So it's a very easy place to start because even if you're not a seasoned investor, most

people that are investing in single family, they've owned the home.
