@Scott Costello Thanks for the info, and I communicated with Trevor - there's certainly a larger separation between Investor Carrot and Generation Web (the SEO provider), than it appears at first glance. 

I thought that by giving a larger amount of profits would show that I am willing to do whatever it takes to get the ball rolling.

I haven't personally done this since I've stuck with SFRs, giving up some of the better cash flow and diversification from multi's in exchange of a better renter pool, appreciation, and liquidity of SFRs.... again, a great question for your mortgage broker/banker, though; this is why it helps to network and build your local REI team, as well as your virtual one here on BP ...

I have not found anywhere in Utah where the second kitchen increases value because more often than not, people looking for homes like this would prefer the extra space for larger families than somewhere to stash a mother-in-law.I have not seen any negative repercussions regarding licensing.  

I know there will be more competition in the larger area.

If you are dealing in higher priced areas, it can be harder for buyers to come up with larger sums of cash and if you can't flip a property to another investor before closing, you'll have to come up with all cash or lose the deal and your security deposit.

Also larger brokerages with multiple offices will likely have many seasoned Brokers willing to have you help out.

If larger the owner will need to hire a private collector. 

Is one better for acquisitions (larger purchases > 100k) and the other better for rehab costs (smaller ~ 30k)?

There are two main routes you can go: owner occupied - advantages include, lower down-payment, easier to recover from mistakes, easier to manage property, lowered living expensesinvestment property - needs a larger down payment but will cash flow right away, management can a little harder but you can get property management, it will also be harder to get a loan but at the same time easier to buy properties that need repairs.If we want lets link up.
