If you are looking to build your rental investment portfolio, you will want to weigh your options on the kind of rental you will purchase next.

- Mortgages – If you have only owned single-family properties in your rental portfolio and are interested in branching out into multi-family properties, make sure to do some research on applying for a mortgage. Financing a multi-family property will be a bit different.
- Which is More Profitable? – In business, you will be looking to make a profit. When it comes time to make a decision about your next real estate investment purchase, you will want to weigh the profitability of the types of properties that you are looking to invest in.
