@Samuel SedoreI see 2-4 unit properties (even 5 or 6 units in many cases) as really being residential properties and you are frequently dealing with unsophisticated vendors and real estate agents whose bread & butter is selling pretty houses to Dick & Jane and who have no experience in how to sell to an investor.When you step into small multiunit apartments (say 6 - 30 units), my biggest frustration is the number of vendors/agents who bring a property to market as they would an SFR, rather than taking the time to prepare a memorandum of offering and a professional package comprising financial (2-3+ years), operational & marketing data, service contracts, etc.
