Multi-Family Properties

Multi-Family properties are some of Washington Metro’s hottest real estate commodities. This is an area of the country that continues to grow and prosper. The resulting housing crunch, especially in densely populated urban neighborhoods, means that multi-family buildings are the equivalent of an investment Swiss Army knife. Multifamily properties are not defined by size. They can be any building or lot of land with more than one residence. Mid-rise apartment buildings, side-by-side duplexes, rowhouses with multiple interior units, and mixed-use complexes are just a few of the examples.
