For many, the leap from single-family rentals to multifamily syndications feels daunting — filled with questions about risk, returns, and how to find the right partners. But what if the key lies not just in the asset itself, but in the strategy and relationships behind it?

According to Wayne Courreges III, a seasoned commercial real estate investor, the answer starts with focusing on scalable, well-managed multifamily assets that generate consistent cash flow and long-term appreciation. He highlights the importance of evaluating both the deal and the people running it, ensuring that trust, transparency, and operational excellence are in place before investing. This disciplined approach, he explains, can provide higher returns, greater diversification, and fewer headaches than managing scattered single-family properties. Wayne also emphasizes the role of off-market opportunities, strong asset management, and proactive investor relations in sustaining performance and maximizing value.
