Are multi-family homes holding their value better than single family homes?

I I would think if the rental income pays for the mortgage, than they would be in higher ddemand in this market. Am I right?

Thats a GREAT question,

Considering that the pool of buyers is more limited than it has been in the past, the demand for investment properties is greater than single family  resident properties at the time. Further, because multi-unit homes are not being sold short or being foreclosed on like single family homes, the price of the comps are staying strong in comparison to single family homes that are negatively affected by short sales and foreclosures.

If you have the cash flow to invest right now, multi-res. is a good option!

Good location and good rental income makes a multi-family
a solid investment and will hold the value better than a sigle family
home

It's all taking a beating. The most important thing now is Cashflow. That's about the most they are worth. Yearly and monthly income.
