How much rent collected in each configuration.

We're leaning towards single-family homes, preferably with a 3/2 configuration.

@Lance Thomas Get linked up with a good agent and you should be golden...or send me a PM...I have national data and can help if possible.But to answer your question, your basis of valuation for residential properties is the comparable sales method...so, you want similar properties...within 10% difference of square footage if possible...same bedroom and bath configuration...sold within the last 6-months and 1-mile from the subject.

@Terry TanWe have several student rental properties, including one rooming house in a similar configuration to what you describe above (9rms - 4up, 5 down).In addition to emphasizing @Chad Urbshott's warning about financing options - most of the Big-5 will not even wander into universityville these days and no-one will be clamouring to underwrite a rooming house - I suggest you check the City zoning in the area and the occupancy by-laws.   

It is still an IRA, just configured differently to open up the possibility of investing in things always allowed per the tax code, but not sold by the big Wall St banks and brokerages.There are two plan formats you can choose.A self-directed IRA custodian (generally a trust company) can hold and report on the IRA much like a mainstream firm.  

So far, our estimates have ranged from 5-10% of ARV, but it also depends on the price point and how many other houses in the area have similar configurations. 

Should not have used "condo", it is a house, with 2 identical units(apartments if you will) on each level.Baltimore has some weird configurations compared to here in Atlanta with all the row-houses, so kinda hard to describe, some of my family actually live in these type houses that are split up into individual dwellings.on separate floors.But to your point, there are no condo fees, it is a private residence, 2 story home(not condo).Thanks for info

What are the rents and unit configurations?

Should I be worried about the zoning requirements for RH relative to the current configuration of the building?
