Apartment numbers can be quite different than numbers on SFR's.It is comparing apples to oranges in my opinion.Investing in a 100 unit apartment complex is an entirely different investment vehicle than investing in 100 SFR's and the ratios can certainly vary.

If I was only projected to get a CF of $75/month per SFH, I wouldn't be buying in that market...so why use it as a comparison.Apples to apples. 

To compare the bay area to the midwest is like comparing apples and hubcaps.  

I use a shlage with an apple tv as the interface through wifi.

As you suspect, a duplex and an apartment are apples and oranges to most tenants, and the difference in maintenance/repairs/management can be significantly different on your end.One way to get a baseline is to look at other parts of your city where duplexes and apartments are both plentiful in a single neighborhood, and look at the ratio of rents between those two asset classes.  

For these people it's even easier because they have some personal experience to help them out.Now Jay... about this whole "up front" fee business... of course you don't charge them "up front" for a comprehensive real estate investment system to help newbies get started and veterans maximize their profits... because you haven't developed a system like this and you don't provide a system like this to your borrowers.It's really not apples to apples... you do good work and have helped people with a valuable service...

If you find a good company, still be cautious but go ahead and buy it.BUT if you find a once in a generation company (apple, amazon, google).   

Just saying, they used it as the hook.I've never heard of any legitimate product being marketed where a detailed description of the product was so hard to find, can't think of anything from apples to chain saws, to a master's degree to zoo management, just in real estate marketing is the education top secret.  

No offense taken, it's just that the comparison of our Program and AMIG's offering is not on an "apples-to-apples" basis---which is completely fine.
