@Greta Andrews,They both won't be able to serve the same purpose, let's compare the two.Save money: 100% of your contributions to an IRA are available for you invest from the day one.

I have (4) properties out there simply because of the price point compared to MA.

HOWEVER, for 1-4 unit properties comparable sales is the predominant method appraisers use to establish value not income.

We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

You get some 50s or earlier oak strip flooring and compare the scratch resistance to anything out today and it's not even close.

I also modeled out what the investment might look like if the exit cap rate increased compared to the purchase cap rate.2.

I see FF to be very mixed on bookings compared to actively getting them.

The potential NOI and cash flows seem to be roughly double what a comparable ‘vanilla’ multi-family would be at the same purchase price (such as a 3-unit apartment building).Many of the 14 bedrooms had not been fixed up in decades.

I think one of the major issues is W valley basically only has Pinot .. compared to Napa Sonoma were virtually all varietals are grown and bottled. 

I would get this property at a good price as it is listed at 365k in comparibles.
