Overview

What this service covers

Capital between $500K and $5M can be deployed many ways: several duplexes, a fourplex portfolio, a small apartment building, or a commercial property with a different lease structure entirely. The right answer depends on your return targets, your appetite for management, your financing and your timeline.

Marques helps investors identify and acquire commercial and residential properties that align with their strategy, with market and submarket guidance for Houston and Central Florida.

Scaling from duplexes to multifamily

Residential financing generally covers properties of one to four units. Five units and above typically move to commercial lending, which weighs the property's income more heavily than the borrower's. Many investors build a base of duplexes and fourplexes first, then move into larger multifamily as their capital and experience grow.

Commercial property, a different underwriting

Commercial leases are often longer, and depending on their structure can shift taxes, insurance and maintenance to the tenant. Tenant credit, vacancy and re-leasing costs carry more weight in the analysis. Marques works with you to define what fits before any opportunity is presented.

Building a portfolio across two markets

Houston and Central Florida have different demand drivers, insurance considerations and supply. Holding property in both can diversify a portfolio, and the Houston vs. Orlando guide compares them for rental investors.

Questions

What investors ask

What is the smallest multifamily property you work with?

Duplexes. The focus runs from duplexes and fourplexes up to 5 to 50 unit multifamily, plus commercial acquisitions that fit your strategy.

Can I use a 1031 exchange to move into multifamily?

Many investors use a 1031 exchange to trade into larger property. The deadlines are strict, so plan before you sell and work with a qualified intermediary and your tax advisor. The 1031 deadline calculator shows your 45 and 180 day dates.

Is multifamily ever available off-market?

Yes. Multifamily and commercial opportunities that come through builder, developer and owner relationships are shared privately with investors whose buy box they fit.

Do you work with partnerships and family offices?

Yes. The investor form asks whether you invest as an individual, a partnership or fund, a family office or a 1031 exchange buyer, so opportunities are matched to how you buy.
