A lot of investors overlook the deals/opportunities that are already easily within grasp of their existing portfolio.Your analysis seems apt to me, obviously the 'your time' is hard to quantify - I'm not sure that the jump from 2 to 3 bedroom would enable getting less needy tenants - at least with what we're doing - I think this would actually typically be the reverse if I had to generalize.
