All homes on the exact sized lot as mine have an identical lot valuation.

I would say that you aren't necessarily "supposed" to hide your identity or avoid living in the same place you rent out.

The license helps us know the correct person is authorizing us to run their credit, and comes in handy later if there is criminal activity on the property.We've had people who are hesitant to give us their SSN, they have been through identity theft.  

@Kate Weinberg (and others who expressed interest in this topic).This is almost identical to a situation I found myself in a couple years ago and we periodically hear from others struggling to find a good home for their capital.BTW, average returns for Large Multi-family is 8-12% Cash on Cash or 15-20% IRR for a 3-5yr hold.I am in the midst of writing a blog post about the various options I considered (stocks, private lending, SFH portfolio, Multi Family Portfolio, private equity, REITs, etc) and my logic behind selecting what i did.If it would be helpful, I can share a draft of the upcoming post with you soon.

Your experience sounds practically identical to mine.

A near identical property with slightly better features (larger yard, driveway and a little prettier) sold a week ago for full price, $235k with multiple backup offers according to the agent.The property is 12 yrs old and feels like a worn rental.

More attractive because it will be appealing to *SOME* SFR buyers who might occupy it and be able to derive additional income from it where a standard 3 or 4-plex would not.Less attractive because it will turn off many investors because they will want to standard building with identical units since it's less maintenance (under one roof).I am trying to debate whether I should stay with SFR or real MF, or consider some of these in-betweens?
