If you look for more singles and doubles and occasionally are able to hit a home run, then, in my opinion, you will win a lot more games (have more success with investing).

Cutting into the street can double that cost.

Why one bed room?

Hey everyone, I'm new to real estate investing and currently have a house that has doubled in value since I bought it. my current goal is to buy 5 houses after I get back from deployment and I was thinking about taking a HELOC on that house to pay for down payments on the houses.

I am always watching rents in the area though, frequently looking at trulia/padmapper/apartments.com/zumper/craigslist ads and snap a photo of every "for rent" sign I see to call up and find out.There is a lot more variation than simply how many bedrooms a place has and where in the city it is located in, property condition, layout, density, and the environment around it factors into the price a lot, and rentometer doesn't give you much insight into that.

Luckily, I paid off my mortgage about 21 years ago and it is being a charged of interest only at 2.99% which only costs us about $300 a month for a 4 bedroom hose just outside of the city of Dallas. 

The only things I can think of is still doing an FHA loan on an SFH and renting out the other bedrooms or just continue renting and find a multifamily to invest in out of state.

Does anyone have a favourite closet system to install when your bedrooms don't come with one?
