For all of you agents who work with investors, how do you run your comps? My local MLS has a CMA tool, but it is horrible, at least for multifamily CMA's.

I have 2 duplexes that I want to sell in Houston. Looking for an agent who can get me too dollars

@Preston Dean  I don't think I would've ever thought of that. I think this will help me a lot! Thank you!!

I've just finished my real estate courses and my next step is to take the CA exam. Does anyone have any tips or advice?? I've been using youtube and my course books to study so far. I just want to make sure I ace it on the first go!

Most people would rather live in a detached unit of a multifamily than an attached unit...I currently live in one of my multifamily properties that has a shared wall which is perfectly fine with me but currently looking for the next place and ideally it would be detached units for more privacy...Duplexes generally tend to be smaller here in San Diego (2 bed/ 1 bath units are most common) and those with families and kids tend to want atleast a 3bed/2bath which maxes a single family home with an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) more attractive.

@Preston Dean I am in the space where my comfort matters little but my profit matters a lot. I live in a studio and STR my 4/2 front house in San Diego right now. As I get older and more importantly more financially independent I will look to move into a main house like that with a back house to cover some but not all the mortgage. It all depends on strategy and where you are at!
