Bill Gulley No worries, it almost bit us in the butt  a month ago :) That's why I am probably more sensitive to it! 

Insurance will be more on the property, but likely less on a per unit basis.A SFD will be more marketable and sensitive to utility and functionality than a multi-family structure.

The separation is that income property is valued by the stream of income and the appetite for return (ie cap rate) and it's very sensitive to moves in rate, whereas SFR is far less correlated because the end-user buyer is buying because they like the school district and the way the kitchen flows into the dining room. 

I know where to find the pre foreclosure listings at the county's recorder office, but i have the feeling that it is a very laborious and sensitive job for very few leads; Any experience would be greatly appreciated!

If they previously chose to pay $22/mo in fees on top of the rent, then they're clearly not that price sensitive at $800/mo.More than anything else, I'm merely trying to illustrate the true cost of rent collection methods that charge transaction fees on the tenant.
