Like, should I lower the ARV by e.g. 10% as compared to a new house?

My question is does it make sense to hold a single family in a market that the rentals are low compared to the sell price and focus on the long term value increasing or should I sell and have a clean start in a new state?

Ground zero.

The upper unit (2nd and 3rd floor) is approx 1500sqft and the lower unit (ground floor) is approx. 1000sqft. 

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

In any case, I wonder if a smaller project (say 4 units) that is on the smaller side with square footage can be built comparatively inexpensively.

I've heard that it is lower than MF but since I've never owned a SF rental, I don't have that data to compare! 

Then it pops out of the ground and creates a great skate park.
