I think you are on the right track comparing options - however I would note that there isn't really a differentiation between "DCSR" and "ARM" - there are a lot of 5 Year ARM options for DSCR Loans so theres overlap - maybe you are referring to a true 5-year balloon bank/credit union type loan?

I appreciate your differentiation of the two.Thanks again and Happy Investing!

I would venture to say that our exit stratigies are different.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

Sure there are two kitchens, two AC units, but somethings are the same work (like yard care, bills, roofing, etc).In NOLA, I am not a huge fan of 4 plexes, as most of them are in not so great areas of town, and attract not so great tenants.If your looking outside of NOLA, things could be different.

All utilities paid or something different.

Seems to be the best differentiator in my market area.

@Christina Larios, you are definitely right that the CA market is pretty different.

I think the better question to ask is, in any given market, how will you differentiate yourself and add value to the marketplace?
