Access to Larger Loan Amounts: Cross collateralization allows borrowers to leverage multiple properties, which can lead to a higher overall loan amount than what might be possible with a single property.2.

MLS is pretty good for single family comps because most people list their home with a Realtor.

Depending on where you are looking, inventory for 1-4 units can be a challenge as a lot of the NW suburbs are all single family homes unless you are further NW like Rockford or Elgin or something like that. 

Cannot touch that one because it’s super low rate of 2%. 

I was approached by a wholesale partner and flipper partners (whom I’ve done private lending for) of mine about me purchasing 1.5 acres to develop 12-16 single family homes on.I would be responsible for purchasing land and getting it prepped to build. 

In general in single family areas they add significantly less value than the hands off cost to add the ADU.  

I am hoping to find a single family home that I can "BRSTRHHRR" (buy, reno, Short term rent|House Hack, refinance, repeat) by creating a separate living space in a single family home that can be STRed (this is due to local restrictions in my town that prevent STR in multifamily properties). 

We now live in the a single family "forever home" because we felt the needs to settle with our kids getting older, long story short we want to get into a multi family again. 

Millenials are not as bad (I am a millenial), but honestly every single age group we have is super needy.  

Yes, this will be an entry level job, but it gives you experience, gives you income to be able to even start buying single family rentals, if you want, gives you connections in the industry (not always investors, but people you may need later on).
