Hi, I've listened to some episodes of the Landlord Diary, and many hosts mention that when they do rental arbitrage, they price their properties at 2 to 2.5 times the base rent. This seems unrealistic to me. After che...

The thing I like about lots/land is there is a lot less emotion involved compared to houses. 

I look at location, price compared to surrounding properties (to force appreciation quickly), desirability, path of progress, underlying fundamentals, etc.

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

Is this the right way to compare?

The assignment fee in wholesaling is often much larger compared to the commission they receive as a buyers agent.

Compare the projected returns of keeping your equity in this property with investing the proceeds elsewhere and you have your answer. 

This will get you the investment at the price you're looking for, while gaining appreciation in a hot market caused by migration and lower prices compared to the rest of the country (Greenville, SC).

After comparing the performance I don't think I could ever go back to anything under 4 bedrooms. 

My average is around $160-170/night for a 3/2 lake view, which is low compared to other markets I'm in.
