Quote from @Michael Diossa: @Remington Lyman Do you feel Single family is a better return on investment than Multi's in Ohio.When all is said and done, the numbers are often much closer than people realize.

The human race has historically been poor at predicting future, so it's wise to prepare for multiple scenarios.Mortgage rates in 2025 may decrease slightly if inflation stabilizes and the Federal Reserve eases rates, though they are unlikely to return to pre-pandemic lows.

There are duplexes in KC that will return the numbers you are looking for. 

This will allow you separate business income and expenses from personal income and expenses.Since you plan to house hack your bookkeeping and tax return preparation will be more complicated because a percentage of your home expenses will be personal deductions and some will be business deductions.

2.How can I better evaluate and communicate an investor’s return on investment (ROI)?

Last, we have hundreds of investors that we work diligently at providing positive returns to. 

Run the numbers make sure the return is what you want.

For example, theirs is relatively less maintenance and comps are easier to find.If you're looking to maximize returns, typically SFH and multi family would yield better returns and wouldn't have the risk of HOA fees increasing.

However if I do a BRRRR I can achieve infinite return by extracting all of my investment.

Then, the lease will be up in the summer when the demand is higher to get better returns
