Back to EpisodesRK#454 Class B Is Quietly Becoming the King of Multifamily Investing
Description
The script argues that the current multifamily opportunity may be in overlooked Class B apartments because Class A owners face heavy competition from new supply and concessions, while Class B competes on affordability. It cites CBRE data on 2026 completions and slowing deliveries, and the National Apartment Association’s view that stabilized Class B often holds stronger occupancy and steadier rent performance in high-supply markets. The speaker warns that not every Class B deal is good and outlines five key checks before buying: local job growth, upcoming supply, true renter affordability, ongoing CapEx needs in older buildings, and whether the deal works without aggressive rent growth. Value creation is framed as operational—improving collections, turnover, expenses, vacancy, and selective renovations—while cautioning that “cheap” properties can become expensive when CapEx and risk are ignored.
