Also it blends well with construction, one example being if the borrower owns a piece of land or lot free and clear, the lender can tie up the lot and fund the construction of the house in draws, 6-12 months later once construction is finished the borrower can refinance into "soft money" through a conventional lender.

I have been happy with the appreciation/ cashflow blend in the greater Ames, Iowa area.

@Maxim LorenzYeah, the blended system doesn't have a match for you guys, right... 

Fair warning...this is a blended business model that feels a lot more hotel-ish.4.

If you decide to do this, I know our region (the DC region) might have the best blend of great job opportunities and three well-known MSRE programs to pick from, so relocating might be worth it. 

A small 2-4 multifamily, an appraiser might use a blended approach, and use some weighted average: 80% comps and 20% income, for example. 

It's a blend of facts and my own semi-experienced opinion.   

@Giovanny Garcia you should also switch to blended retirement.

I blend in pretty well.

I like to look at it as a per door compared to blended rents per door.
