I'm born and raised in Houston and now work with a full service long-term rental management managing over 300 doors - all SF or MU (up to 4 unit).

It sounds like the Seller does not want to commit until he knows the deal will go through, and until that time, he wants to be able to entertain other offers. 

I'm about to make two offers, one on a triplex with a 6% cap rate and one one a single-family that I want to use as my primary.

Investors are particularly interested in properties near major universities, as they offer stable and growing returns.

I'm so glad you found the post helpful.To answer your question, yes, certain types of homes and markets definitely tend to benefit more from full-service staging.

I live in California (Central Coast) and have built a 12-door portfolio in Detroit, which has been a great market for both cash flow and long-term potential.Detroit still offers properties well below the $150k mark, with strong rent-to-price ratios and a market that’s seeing growth in key areas.

I understand when your doing deals that offer small investments one will need some sort of marketing to get in front of the masses.

Here are my responses to your questions1) Not my area of expertise, but the numbers on this are very strong2) I'd generally lean towards building the CFM, but strategically selling some properties when someone gives you a offer you can't refuse.3) Most HMLs would lend you 75%-85% of your purchases prices plus up to 100% of the rehab costs (though some HMLs like to see the rehab costs at or below the purchase price).
