They could offer different products for single family vs multifamily so it's a good idea to get with a lender to see what they can do that may not be your typical mortgage type.

For single family residential I think it is a red flag, usually price if they are sitting.

Mostly, you're seeing a lot of mom and pop investors buying up cheap Indy urban homes that are "cash flowable".

Many warranties cover single-family homes or duplexes, but for multifamily properties, you might need a specialized policy.

If you’re renting an apartment building to mostly Section 8 tenants, the main difference from single-family or smaller multifamily properties is scale—you’re dealing with more units, so you’ll need solid systems for maintenance and tenant management.

Ask them how many customers they have and how many own a single property vs. many units.

I'm sure they also told you their systems will protect against aggressive attorneys and creditors and make you invisible so nobody will ever dare file a claim against you...it's all a money grab.If you are a sole proprietor I am putting my money on the fact a single member LLC in the state in which you live/own real estate will suffice.

You can get solid cash-flowing single families in the 90-120k price range and duplexes in the 130-180k price range.

But as of today, I am strongly considering converting it into a single-family rental because based on some Zillow comps I’ve seen I could get upwards of $8000.00 per month which is more than double my mortgage, taxes and operating expenses.

They can also be an LLC that specifically elected to be treated as a corporation – there is a box for this option, too.If they signed that they are a corporation, as opposed to a single-member LLC – then you’re off the hook.What about DBAs?
