No, they are not 100% passive, but NOTHING you do in a REIT, stocks, Bitcoin, or MLM can come close to comparing. 

But honestly, you'll want to shop around and compare a few local PMs since fees and services can vary quite a bit.

And lastly, I search FunishedFinder listings nearby, find comparable properties, and track the listed rent for a few months (does it increase, decrease?).

This plays into the affordability issues for tenants by allowing them to live in nicer neighborhoods for less money, yet I get monthly revenue comparable to short-term rentals.

@Luke H.If the buyer is living in the property now it’s a consumer loan compared to a loan to an investor and will kick in a lot more regulationsYou can’t do a balloon less than 5 years, need to have it serviced by a licensed servicer, will have to go by interest rate usury laws, collect escrow…..I would not loan on this property to an owner occupant

We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

Are there areas/cities more open to multifamily rezoning compared to others?

@Landon Sheveland People do fix and flips while living into the property to classify the property as primary residence and not pay any capital gain taxes. if that is your intention, don't use LLC to establish this as your LLC.If your goal is different compared to what I said above, you can use LLC.

A fourplex means four times the appliances, plumbing, HVAC, water heater, and other repairs, driving up maintenance expenses compared to a single family.In Las Vegas, multi-family properties attract transient tenants, like singles or couples without children, who typically stay 1 to 2 years.

 $13,440 value to compare against.The teak would be 60 trees at the end of 21 years per acre.
