Can You Build a Fourplex Anywhere?

It can be a house, an apartment building or any type of structure as long as there are four unique quarters where people can live separately.

Are 4 plexes a good investment?

Immediate cash flow opportunities: A fourplex can offer the same cash flow opportunities as four single-family home investment properties, three if the owner lives on-site. Fourplexes also have lower property taxes than four separate rental properties, making fourplexes a sound investment with good financial returns.

How much can you make from a fourplex?

If you charge each tenant $1,500 per month for rent, then living in a fourplex will provide you $4,500 per month in rental income ($1,500 per month times the 3 units you rent out). It's also possible to buy a multi-unit property as an investment property — also known as a rental property.
