Same cost as a stamp, so pretty easy sell.It's always a work in progress but some things I've begun working on: 1)ACH payments2) PM software; website, online applications, digital leases, maintenance requests through resident portal.

(5 units and above is considered commercial, but for 4 and less, "normal" residential mortgage rules apply and garbage collection--at least in Cincinnati--is no cost as part of the taxes you pay for city services...)

They cost a little more to maintain- bigger roof, one more room to paint, another room that needs new carpet, a little more property tax.

I want to do as much as possible with as little cost as possible so that if rescinded I won't be too much out of pocket.

High maintenance and high turn over properties do nothing but cost a manager time and money. 

There is never a rehab that will have the same cost as another rehab nor multi-family rehab cost per door all will be totally different from the others it just depends on the amount of work that needs to be done in each unit or SFR home.

I can't really see buying a house at such a low cost as being a big risk and so I am trying to see if there is anything that I am missing in my calculations.

I bought a Costa Mesa property at the end of 2011 and have seen $250k in appreciation since then, which I used to secure a HELOC.
