The Multi-Unit Advantage is an excellent guide for anyone interested in buying rental properties. Although the advice is focused on the purchase of multi-unit properties, much of the advice could benefit any person considering a real estate purchase.
The book starts with a QR code that allows the reader access to the Private Equity Masterclass as a free bonus. I love getting free stuff.
This is a great reference for the steps a multi-unit purchaser should follow when buying multi-unit residential property. The author describes a specific strategy based on the purchase of duplex and fourplex units that will be held long-term. Starting with selecting a realtor who is skilled in searching out and negotiating the purchase of multi-family units. The book offers a thorough discussion on conducting a property search, evaluating a property's financial viability, and understanding common costs associated with a building purchase, such as closing costs, repairs, and building a reserve. Before the property is purchased, the author shares a caveat to explore issues such as lease agreements with tenants, the impact of legal considerations like local rent controls, government assistance, and the owner-occupant option.
The discussion of what corporate structure to use was interesting, but I think consulting a lawyer on this issue might be prudent.
At the end of the book, the author discusses issues involved in the renting of property, such as tenant selection, marketing (this discussion is extensive), benefits of Section 8 tenants, and a discussion on allowing pets.
The book ends with a set of tips ranging from open houses to proper record keeping.

The Multi-Unit Advantage is a solid, well-structured guide for anyone interested in building real estate wealth through multi-family investing. Dave Seymour does a great job explaining the fundamentals — from evaluating deals and managing properties to scaling for long-term success — all in a clear and approachable tone.
What I liked most is that the advice feels grounded in real experience rather than theory. The sections on cash flow analysis, financing options, and tenant management are especially useful for beginners. It’s concise, easy to follow, and filled with actionable insights you can apply right away.
If there’s one small drawback, it’s that some areas could go deeper (especially around market analysis and long-term portfolio growth). Still, it’s an excellent starting point and a motivating read for anyone ready to move beyond single-family rentals.
Overall, a smart, straightforward guide that makes multi-unit investing feel achievable — not intimidating.

I’ve read a bunch of real estate books, and this one really brought me a new strategy I wasn't familiar with. The idea of moving away from single-family headaches into small multi-unit stuff just made a lot of sense. Not sure why I actually never thought about that before. What I like from the author is that he keeps things simple and clear, which helped a lot since I’m not a native English speaker.
I especially liked the sections about financing and using owner-occupant strategies , super helpful and not full of fluff. The advice about Section 8 tenants and pet policies was eye-opening too. Now, will I invest into that, I am still debating with myself, need to find the best opportunity. Maybe that part was missing from the book actually. But overall a very good use of my KU account.

Anyone looking for quick flips probably won’t find much here, but for people interested in steady, long-term income, the advice really hits home. The focus on multi-unit rentals shows why they provide stability that single-family homes can’t. The guidance on financing, property management, and tenant selection all point toward reducing stress and building something sustainable. The book even covers protective measures like LLCs and insurance, which are often skipped but really important. Everything ties together to show how to make passive income something reliable instead of something unpredictable.

Anyone looking to build passive income will find the strategies here very clear. The book starts with why single-family rentals can be risky, then shifts into why multi-units are more reliable. The framework for evaluating properties helps cut through emotional decisions and focus only on cash flow. The part about building an “A-team” of realtors, lenders, and managers is a great addition. It shows how important support is for success. The tips on scaling without adding more stress are also practical. Overall, it connects the dots from buying your first property to actually living off the income.

This book completely changed how I look at real estate. I always thought single-family homes were the way to start, but the book clearly showed why they can be unstable. If a tenant moves out, you’re stuck with zero income. Multi-units give you a safety net. It also explained how cash flow works and why it matters, which made everything make sense for me. I liked that it showed different ways to finance and manage properties too, which helped the whole process feel more practical and achievable.

The book gives enough beginner-level guidance to help someone new get started, but it also offers more advanced strategies like scaling portfolios and lowering risk. That mix makes it valuable for different levels of investors. The framework for evaluating properties is practical and doesn’t require a financial degree to understand. It’s not just surface-level ideas but steps that can be applied in real-world situations. Overall, it shows how multi-unit rentals can actually work as a wealth strategy.

I have a sum of money set aside for investment, and I want to turn it into passive income by purchasing real estate and renting it out. This book guided me well in that regard. I found the step-by-step explanations of what to do very helpful. The sections on tenant selection and government-subsidized rental programs were especially interesting, as they were topics I hadn’t known much about before.

A GREAT BOOK ABOUT REAL PROPERTY RENTAL INVESTMENTS
This book gave me great insights on how to further improve /expand my knowledge on real property investments. Its a great book to have around if your are in this type of business. The limitations that I had with this book, hence the 4 stars, was because some of the criteria applied here may not be applicable in the country where I do business.

The book lays out a clear, step-by-step process for getting into multi-unit rentals. It doesn’t assume you already know everything about real estate. Instead, it breaks down how to find good deals, evaluate them with cash flow numbers, and use financing options that make sense.

It really does feel like a blueprint for building long-term wealth with rentals instead of just chasing risky flips or speculation.
