100% of my net worth is in value-add income producing multifamily in high-growth locations.

There are no other investments that can compete with the upside combined with the limited downside:

Value Add

Target long term owners that strategically keep the rents low.

That way, even if the market rents drop by -4%, like it did in 2009, if the properties rents are already reduced by 10%-20%, you can absorb the hit without a drop in your rents.

Unpopular opinion: Turnkey deals with market rents are riskier than value-add.

If you buy a stabilized deal with higher rents, then the impact of a drop in market rents will hit you property first.

In that sense, stabilized deals are riskier than value-add deals.

Income Producing

Buy a 5% cap with 4.25% interest loan, and your deal can still positively cash flow with 25% vacancy.

Thing is, even during the great recession, vacancies did not fall below 10% in FL, which was one of the hardest hit states.

I like my odds here.

In fact, renting became a lot more popular from the great recession bec after ppl lost their homes in foreclosure, they became renters.

The reason why there was even a 10% vacancy was bec families moved in together But the apartments quickly got absorbed by new tenants.

Multifamily

Not single family homes, it's too risky to rely on one source of income.

People will always need a place to call home, a well built apartment complex can consistently produce cash flow for decades.

Best to get 10+ tenants w/ incomes from diverse industries.

A high growth location brings high demand for your asset for years to come.

It is irresponsible a long term hold in locations with a declining population, especially with a product that isn't necessarily going to remain in high demand like multifamily.

As for upside, a well executed value-add deal can bring back all your invested capital in a refi, and you keep your property and CASH FLOW with infinite returns.

I'm refinancing a deal I purchased 2.5 years ago and returning 1.5x the original equity. No taxes on that $$.
9/10
This all assumes your doing all your debt with 5-10+ year terms so you do not have any looming balloon payments which can add a lot of stress to your deal.
Give me another option that meet these conditions and I'll diversify.
