Most on-market deals will likely not fit your investment criteria unless you allocate a substantial downpayment, often at least 30%-35%, or negotiate a price reduction that fits your requirements.Furthermore, while this is not the case for all metro ATL markets, my team and I typically see that a solid portion of the small multifamily space is comprised/orientated in neighborhoods of other small multifamily properties.

Again, I would say there is no one size fits all, as each have their own risks, i.e. floating rate has interest rate exposure (a rate cap is just a prepayment of that exposure and is temporary), but fixed rate has prepayment penalties.  

There is no one size fits all answer for this question, market to market, and property to property are all different.
