Do one task at a time in each app so you can compare apples to apples.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.

He pays on time and pays over market rents.Why bother upsetting the apple cart over this?

reason I ask is because I"ve had lenders tell me that they don't go off cap rates on anything less than a 5 plex... yet I, and a lot of the investors I know, always use cap rates in order to compare apples to apples when buying, and I"m selling some 4plexes in Kansas City that the comps only show $270k but the income easily points to the low $300's.Thanks in advance!

Apple to apples your looking at a $50-$75 increase for Lehi over American Fork.

Pre-qualificationIf you are too "Poor" to buy what you want in a neighborhood you are comfortable in, look at 1st time housing grants to increase your down payment amount so you can buy more house.The amount of the loan, and the amount of your down payment + grant will dictate a particular MAX purchase price for you.Be sure to allow for closing cost and loan costs in your calculations.Once you have that MAX dollar amount you can spend start looking at what you can afford in different neighborhoods.For instance in some cities you might find a Class D neighborhood 4 plex in good shape for the same price as a Class B neighborhood duplex.The Class D place might give you more cash flow than the Class B too, [BUT]Maybe your chance of getting robbed or shot or carjacked in the Class D neighborhood might be greater than the Class B neighborhood (so factor things like that in too).The question is still which should you buy--First whittle it down to specific properties the Bank will let you Afford--then make an apples to Oranges comparison as best you can.

I LOVE using the iPhone app for surfing around the forums, and love that I get notifications right on my home screen when I get a reply, keyword hit, etc.But i've noticed a couple issues, and maybe i'm crazy but thought I would post them here...1) Is there no way to follow a topic on the app?

Apples and oranges and different tax treatment.  

They simply cannot be compared on an apples-to-apples basis to single family homes, especially if you have tenants who don’t treat them well.I often see listing agents using the value of all the park-owned MHs rental income for a sales price on a park without considering the maintenance involved.

Additionally, we clearly let them know that we are growing a business and want them to be part of that growth.Naturally, you are going to get some bad apples and you just have to deal with them and treat the good ones light gold.
