it has been the national trend for the last 3 cycles for SFR... you can look it up a couple guy on youtube broke out the charts really simple but it is what the hedge funds been using for a long time. 

These properties also tend to increase more in price on a percentage basis when the market heats up (See my other post for link to chart).

To be precise I have done 3 Agreement For Sale purchases.

I used to have a chart on the wall showing all the big players, their minimum balance paydown to recast, and their fee.

You are just looking at a single chart.

A CPA can help you:* Set up your accounting system and chart of accounts* Advise on entity structuring and tax implications* Review your HELOC and financing options from a tax perspective* Plan for future property purchases and tax optimizationThat being said, if you're just starting out and have limited resources, you can still begin investing without a CPA.

Account Closed, I appreciate your taking the time to respond and especially for the chart, but of course I have to strongly disagree with your statement of "anyone recommending SFR's over multi-unit properties doesn't have a clue and most-likely never owned multi-unit properties" is patently untrue, and well as conceited beyond what you have a right to be.

Easy to say, impossible to do accurately, precisely, and reliably, but it is what makes all of us money.
