Then I'll go to apartments.com and pull up similar available rentals in the area.

I'm newer to multi-family and doing something similar in Pitt.

Parts of it are similar to SFR, some aspects translate, but they are different worlds in different universes. 

Hi Sunny,I expect DFW and Indianapolis to be similar to as you describe, although $250,000 price point can be tough on newer homes less than 10 years old. 

After years in real estate and military service, I’ve learned a similar lesson: at the end of the day, your mission is your responsibility. 💪 You’ll have some wingmen along the way, sure, but it's all on you.Success will bring a squad of cheerleaders, but challenges?

I have a similar background (but am much older) and did not start growing my own personal portfolio till I was closer to 40 and in less than 10 years I could sell all my real estate and retire if I wanted.

Irvington is very similar to newark, which has very strict laws with regard to rent increases. 

In the meantime use the search function on BP and type in lifestyles Unlimited  and I think there are some post from the past of similar questions. 

I’d love to hear from anyone familiar with the rental market in El Cajon or who has built/rented ADUs in similar areas.
