Residential and commercial multifamily properties may look similar on the surface, but they operate under very different investment logics. In this episode, we break down the fundamental differences between residential and commercial multifamily, and why understanding those differences is critical for serious investors.

We discuss how banks value each asset class, how income and risk are assessed, and why commercial multifamily is driven by cash flow and Net Operating Income (NOI) rather than comparable sales. The episode also explores financing structures, scalability, operational complexity, and how each strategy fits into a long-term portfolio.

Topics include:

• How residential vs commercial multifamily are valued

• Income, NOI, and cap rates explained

• Financing and leverage differences

• Risk, scale, and operational management

• When residential makes sense — and when commercial is the better move

This episode is for investors who want to move beyond surface-level comparisons and understand how to choose the right multifamily strategy based on structure, risk, and long-term goals.
