With the federal funds rate sitting above 5.25% and two more Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) policy meetings scheduled through the end of 2023, questions remain about how short- and medium-term monetary policy adjustments could influence multifamily investing. While a rapid reversal is unlikely, the next phase could ease some interest rate pressure.

Those considering investment in the residential arena of commercial real estate, should consider single-family rentals (SFRs). Here are some reasons why.
As commercial real estate investors move further out on the yield spectrum, they are increasingly considering the single-family rental (SFR) asset class. Large portfolio transactions have made headlines in recent years, yet individual investors still own 80% of the SFR marketplace.
Single-family rentals (SFR) are anything but a passive investment. Much more goes into net operating income (NOI) or, more accurately, detracts from it than just gross rents. Investors must also consider rehab, taxes, concessions, vacancies, and a myriad of other expenses. And like any other investment, higher returns are generally associated with higher investment risk.
