Heads in beds means more revenue.

Same thing with any investor you get in bed with.With time you can work some equity into those rentals and when interest rates come down you will be in a better spot to sell a couple SFHs.   

This is for a 3 bed 1.5-2 bath house around 1500sqft.Im in Philly area

Quote from @Jed Butikofer: Quote from @Jonathan Greene:If you aren't house hacking, multifamily deals should be profitable (maybe not in CA).When I review markets I have lived in, I see 2 bed duplexes for $500k-$700k while only generating $1,400 each in monthly rent.

If you're focused on medical travel folks, smaller 1 or 2 bed properties work fine.

If I rent it out, I'll be hiring a property manager because I don't want to deal with trying to manage it from out of state.Some numbers:Purchased with 0% down VA loanPurchase Price: 189KMortgage: 172KRate: 2.25%4 Bed / 2.5 Bath~2400sq/ftBuilt in 1992Zillow Sales Estimate: 280KZillow Rent Estimate: 2,100/moRoof and AC are less than 10 years old.

It’s better to have less rooms and to have them large enough to comfortably fit a queen bed.

But the rents don't justify it, for example we are renting a 3 bed 2 bath house with a huge backyard in rancho Cordova for 2350/mo, so duplex rents around here are 1800-2200 ballpark.
