Valuing 2-4 unit properties

[MarieChele Porter]

Hey there,

So you always hear about how multi-family properties are valued by their income. My question is, is this only for commercial units five units and up or does this include 2-4 units as well? Should I look at comps for 2-4 unit apartments or should I be valuing it by the rents that it is currently receiving?

Thank you,

No I have a duplex in Ohio I was asking to see if there was any consensus bc I hear investors saying different things and was curious if it can be a negotiation strategy for 2-4 units if rents are below market... I'm looking to buy using an FHA in Fresno however I'm kind of stuck here until I get my job transferred... Bc of the higher prices in California as a whole I want to find a better out of state market that still has cash flow with the potential for appreciation...
