Hi Shelby To determine rental prices and demand in a neighborhood, start by researching comparable rentals in the area, focusing on properties of similar size, type, and amenities.

My goal for this deal is to purchase a cash-flowing multi family property to buy and hold.

You have to be willing to sell your properties and access the equity to buy up. 

Quote from @Marshall Stanek: NEVERMIND.....I found it by digging into the different Forum Category drop downs.FORUMS > Events and Networking > ClassifiedsThis is the only place you can market a property for sale.

So, we bought the property 2 years ago, based on the valuation of the property considering income from 6 units.The sale deeds (from 2018- 3 sales) I could get from the City and the property tax statements (2023,2024) show that the property is zoned as 411 (apartments).

I currently have a client looking to purchase their first investment properties here this year as well as in other Midwest markets that are also showing some of these same factors coming to light.Another thing to consider is that OKC is home to nearly 20,000 military / government workers with Tinker Air Force Base and the Army and Air National Guard posts there. 

Funny enough, I was going to suggest you move out of SF due to the high cost ;-) I'd suggest going down the SF condo route to start as financing for commercial units is a lot more difficult than residential properties.

Let them know how much you value their property and ask if they’ve ever considered selling it.

If the property can service the debt at 90% leverage between a senior 1st and the seller second, you're looking at a good investment!

I get what they are trying to do here, preserve 2-4 unit properties and discourage deconverting to SFH.
