We have a half done rehab in north lawndale and already seeing new highs for the 2 unit comps, it seems the fastest growth is 2 units in areas that become more popular for owner occupants huge equity to be made. 3/4s cashflow more and more but not seen the % appreciation of 2s and houses. 

They are definitely the fastest way to get your phone ringing with motivated sellers.If you don’t want people to see you putting out the signs or don’t have time, just run an ad on Craigslist for someone to do it for you.

I agree 100% @Peter Davis the entire SW Florida area looks excellent and has a bright future.

ive always just used an excel spreadsheet with coding to categorize the expenses 

I'm from Houston and can confidently let you know that Cypress and Katy aren't known for any drug problems - prodominently SFH with excellent schools as you mentioned.

looking at a 6 unit in NorCal excellent credit score, solid cash flow  

A healthy RE investment team includes an efficient and excellent mortgage loan originator.Being dual licensed as a mortgage broker since 2003 has enabled me to identify, align and collaborate with lenders that make a meaningful difference in the investment results of clients and their portfolios. 

I have been given the opportunity to start an Investor division at my Brokerage.Our goal is to create a team of highly skilled agents who excel in understanding and meeting the unique needs of investors.

Mixed usages, such as a furnished mid term rental of one unit or vacation rental usage (where permitted) is also an excellent way to boost revenue.

We are one of the fastest growing cities in the country right now.  https://realestate.usnews.com/places/rankings/fastest-growing-places
