@Daniel Consalvo - For small to medium multi's, I simply use the BP calculator.

It’s medium/mid term rentals.

Paint: I use the same colors everywhere: All Behr Marquee: Ceilings = basic 001 flat white - Baseboard, crown and trim = Swiss coffee, satin or eggshell - Walls = common areas a light cream (coconut), bedrooms a medium brown  (caramel)4.)

In practice, whether the property is in C- or D-class neighborhoods vs A- & B-neighborhoods will have a much greater role in inflating the cap rate than it's relative location in a large vs. medium-large metro.b) Slightly higher vacancy & lower rents: probably, though it's worthwhile to point out that the Phoenix metro, including and especially Scottsdale, Gilbert, Buckeye, etc (sorry for all the keyword alerts everyone!)

I put in a 6 step concrete stoop which was 60” wide this past February with 8’ of sidewalk 3’ in width for $9,500.  

You can also do medium-term or month to month rentals which has gained a lot of popularity since Covid.

Hi guys,I’m looking to pivot my LTR property into a medium term rental for traveling professionals.

If you're solely focused on maximizing cash flow, I would explore creative investment strategies such as medium-term rentals and rent-by-room. 

If you want multiple units, you may think about going with either medium-term tenants, or if you look in cities that allow them, STR could work well also.

Syndication is basically you collecting other investors money to invest in real estate that will yield them a medium to high ROI.
