Cash Flow
Passive commercial real estate investments will typically generate positive cash flow which are distributed either monthly or quarterly to investors.
Leverage
Real estate allows for the use of leverage, meaning you can use borrowed funds to increase your investment potential.
Equity

Appreciation
Multifamily properties tend to appreciate in value over time, especially in high-demand areas.
Tax Benefits
Pass-through depreciation expense of the assets to investors, can provide significant tax benefits.
Diversification
Direct multifamily investments and their performance are not closely correlated to the stock market, thus providing a hedge against the volatility of your stock and bond portfolio
