@Elliot B.I doubt a energy meter based on airflow, heat - etc - of any variety - would hold up if challenged in a court of law - 

Similarly, if you put several Class D tenants in a Class A 4-plex, what do you think will happen to the property?

@Kasondra Milton- hi there ...thanks ...Raised in the fairport area ...live on west coast now ..last summer I had to return to Roch area to help with a family illness  situation ...I stayed in a AIRBNB that was close to Strong hospital for 3 weeks ...in my search for places - I must say I was surprised at the lack of options ( at least at that time ) ...that being said - I agree with your comment about the fact that Greater  Roch  likely  wont  attract a large amount of renters consitently  ( outskirts  like  finger lakes are a diff story ) - thanks and good luck

What types of data or analytics do you rely on most when deciding whether to invest in a property?

For my next deal I would prefer to invest in a small multifamily property (2-4 units) around $250,000.

The land is in a good location surrounded by homes valued around 750k and up.

some more info is needed. is this a condo that you own in a condo building, or is it an apartment where you are subleasing?

Every once in a while, somebody will come on here usually brand new and say hello bigger pockets family.

My challenge is that the equity is siloed in a high number of properties which complicates our ability to draw against it and leverage that for operational and investment purposes.Do you all know of banks willing to work with investors and able to underwrite at the portfolio level, rather than having to apply for and open HELOCs on a per-property basis?

always valuable to throw yourself in a guest's shoes and turn everything on and make sure it functions well or as intended.
