Choosing a multifamily market should not start with somebody telling you that a city is “hot.”

It should start with data.

In our latest video, we use an AI ranking model to identify 10 metros for multifamily investing in 2026. The model looks at factors including job growth, migration, the supply pipeline, and rent to income fundamentals.

Then we count down the 10 metros and explain the reasoning behind each ranking.
But there is a bigger reason to watch.

You do not have to agree with every market on the list. What matters is understanding the framework behind the rankings. Once you know which data points to examine and why they matter, you can apply the same process to markets you are considering yourself.

That turns a top 10 list into something much more useful: a repeatable way to investigate markets before you invest.
