@Dmitry RatmanskyLarge institutions would prefer to go for properties over $50K or even over $100K; as they cover different market segments due to their overheads.Sometimes, you can bundle 2 properties and get them over $100K to get portfolio loan.Local credit unions or private lenders would be able to do loans under $50,000

Condos also have the assessment issue which could lead to you leaning on your parents for more money to repave the parking lot or something random out of your control down the road, plus HOA fees run $200-500/mo, and condos typically appreciate less than other property types (last few years have been an exception to that rule simply due to anything entry level being in higher demand than other market segments, but I think that will slow dramatically as condo prices are now approaching entry level single family homes).  

It is true that multifamily properties are a hot segment of the market at the moment but you still have options. 

Not trying to be disparaging in any way, but if you're just starting out, it may be lean times if you're specializing in one specific segment of the market.

Brad,Im interested to know is this an issue with a segment of investors.

It's hard to make yours stand out when someone is getting multiple offers.Think  about other motivated segments.

If you list too high you will lose a large segment of buyers that may have had interest.

What segment are your targeting for your 2 sources?

It's the high Cleveland Hts taxes and bad Cleveland schools what makes this segment unattractive.

@Cornelius Charles what list segment are you sending to?
