Id recommend the single-family rental because you have more control and you don't need to worry about some greedy operator screwing it up 

It should be noted that the cases were prosecuted against companies that owned and sold thousands of properties nationwide, not against small time operators, but anyone who attempts to follow the model is better off hiring a well versed in the subject matter attorney and be aware of state specific restrictions (like in NY, Wisconsin and others) on Deed for Contract agreements.  

Are you wondering more about the financials of it or operations? 

It's easier to scale with multifamily properties due to income potential and operations.

It sounds like a few people on this thread don't really understand how PMC's operate or why they may charge extra fees.

So, WHY screw with a successful system that your able to operate without undue stress?
