I know it'll calm down sooner or later, and am betting after my talk with them today it'll be sooner.

I’m not sure I would make that bet personally.

Regarding how much you can qualify for, if you have a bank you like I bet they would be happy to help you figure that out.

If you are happy with an annual lease, that should be a pretty safe bet in most places, but if you're talking about short-term rentals, make sure you're somewhere between Kissimmee and Davenport in a neighborhood that permits it.

Introducing myself to smaller MF units seems like the best bet forward for MF investing, yet my only question is, is this return greater than owning multiple duplexes, tris, or quads, in comparison?

I bet that sells quickly.

Remember that every property is different, (example owner pays water, sewer, garbage, landscaping, heating vs. tenant pays all those expenses; this can make a huge difference) so your best bet is to nail down as close as possible each line item in the expense column. 

With more research, I bet this will be a fill-in-the- blank process.

Don't, I repeat DO NOT USE SEARS........... they're terrible.just hop on yelp, probably a good bet herehttps://www.yelp.com/biz/able-appliance-overland-park-5
