@Keith McMiller, I have three rentals but I am looking to scale up so I want to be able to assess a property before I put an offer on it.

And I don't see supply catching up anytime soon -- sound off if you don't agree, maybe you see something I don't.I read in some other threads here that the new stuff being built is the newer/nicer and larger scale MF units, and obviously that is going to rent at higher rates, being newer/nicer and all. 

Maybe on a small scale, but in a tight market, buyers are slightly hesitant to give anything away, be it to a colleague, lender, or anyone in between, regardless of the likelihood.

I plan to scale up on buy and holds quickly and work as a buying agent for other investors.

I wouldn't expect a large percentage of the gain though.
