Everything Mike says about SFHs vs MFHs is true, but SFHs are harder because you have to buy one at a time, but they do have better returns and exit strategies, then with MFH are you talking about less than 4 units or more than 4 because they differentiates between residential and commercial loans.What I would do is dig into all the opportunities you can find, both single and multi.

The first example I gave appears to be very well run and if there's no opportunity for forced appreciation, I'm not interested.And lest we try and differentiate between pre-sale and "sold" cap rates as collected and reported by various brokerage houses and others, realize that:1.

@Gabrielle Woodard   One filter I use on differentiating a real "wholesaler" and someone who's pretending, is to ask the question "Do you have the property under contract?"

I said it was different.  I

Most online systems also keep a record of who has paid and what amount, so if your rental has roommates you can differentiate between who's late or who hasn't paid easily. 

This probably matters less for a smaller structure like yours (if it takes 6 extra months to build a full house, that's a lot different).I like @Michaela G.'

I would then offer the tenants first rights of renewal for another 2 year lease so they get their 5 year commitment just structured slightly different. I

It used to be different. I

There was nothing around when I began, and each state is different.  I

I would be doing a totally different I shall say "task" but overall it would be in the same industry.
