I don’t necessarily see 10-20 unit properties listed here but a lot of inventory for 2-6 units if you are open to smaller numbers.

Based on that number of units I would expect much higher figures - did you buy these buildings all/mostly cash?

Both flat and percentage base charge usually a 1 month fee to lease out the unit.

The offering would be at 490 units at $1000 unit which allows 49% to be sold to have the preceding benefits to remain in place.
