What is Multifamily Housing?
In the simplest terms, multi-family housing is a housing unit that more than one family unit can occupy. The asset, which may also be referred to as a multi-tenant property or multiple dwelling unit, is often abbreviated to MFH. MFH can mean a duplex, which consists of two homes side by side, sharing at least one common wall (or stacked, with one unit comprising the downstairs and another the upstairs). At the other end of the MFH spectrum, apartment complexes can house thousands of families in sprawling developments with significant amenities. Another variation is mixed-use developments, in which the lower floors are occupied by commercial and retail spaces, while the upper floors are devoted to housing.

Refinancing a Rental Property
When interest rates drop, many homeowners decide to refinance their home loans to take advantage of lower mortgage interest rates.
