Take one bite out of the apple at a time!

A co-worker of mine owns a single family split level property in Apple valley, MN.

Figure out your LTV before you start comparison shopping, or you’ll be looking at apples and oranges. 

If we all had 20/20 foresight, we’d just buy Apple or amazon or Microsoft or google stock with 50-100% annual returns sometimes and live our normal lives while our investments exploded in value.

Venmo, Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal, FB Messenger you name it, they all have online payment options. 

James Wise, Good gravy -- that tenant's a bad apple.

You can use the same formula, but a REI is more "mobile".Second mistake, is you are not comparing apples to apples in the overall comparison here. 

In our area, the largest employer Apple did not even have layoffs.

many threads on them.. they from what has been said require a 3k deposit up front with no gurantee of funding.so its not no money down.. plus I think you have to front rehab and get reimbursed so you need money for that so once you start adding this all up.. you may want to talk to local HML s as well. just to compare the real apples to apples.the biggest complaint I have heard is people pay the 3k and can never find a deal good enough to get through their underwriting and just lose the money.. they do for the 3k though send you some how to books and tapes I think but you can buy that stuff on E bay for 50 bucks.

I don't want to muddy the thread with a debate between SFH and MFH but compare apples to apples if you're going to make the comparison.
