2–4 Unit Multi-Family investing in Buffalo
A 2–4 unit property in Buffalo is still residential financing — it is underwritten on the 1025 Small Residential Income Property appraisal rather than a commercial rent roll, so you keep 30-year fixed terms while spreading vacancy risk across multiple doors. Losing one tenant in a duplex costs you roughly half your income instead of all of it.
At the Buffalo median of $385,000, a 2–4 unit multi-family prices near $608,300 for a typical duplex — small multifamily trades at a premium per building but a discount per door. Minimum down is 25% ($152,075), leaving a loan of $456,225. Estimated all-in PITIA runs about $3,811 per month.
