When any little hiccup comes along that most of us did not financially prepare for we Demand the GuvMint do something, like my stock portfolio dropped 25% today in 10/87, so drop interest rate to Zero, thanks Maestro Greenspan, or again in 3/2000 when Yahoo.com didn't somehow grow into its projected 30 trillion dollar market cap based on its PE of 700, drop rates to Zero and keep 'em there for 22 years except for brief interludes of sanity (inflation got above 2%), or in 2008 when no one with a pension fund in America took any damn responsibility/oversight and gave their retirement funds to crooks to buy whatever ratings agency rubber stamped dogshit inverse synthetic CDO they could get a commission on, then were shocked, laying on their fainting couch clutching their pearls when the financial system reliably imploded, so drop rates to Zero again and start Monetizing/printing the debt, and now with the most predicted pandemic in history, Americans hadn't saved a damn cent so we cried to the GuvMint, send us 7 Trillion dollars now, I need a new Lambo!

My wife and I own a handful of vacation rental property units in Michigan, our home base.

We have built a database based on room prices from various roommate leasing sites. 

I was driven through 38111 zip code by a local, @Alex Craig and he explained street by street how different the houses, tenant base and rents were.

For these investments, if they are both properties you are able and willing to buy, I would make a decision based on revenue/expense assumptions.

You need to understand the market, the tenant base and how these things work.

Thanks for any insight...we have used a PML in the past but his return request has become something we just won't pay, so this is our first time looking for an alternative.

A financial planner, CPA, and others may be better resources for you in deciding which is the best play here based on the immediate health needs and life expectancy.Hope this helps. 

Take a look at the list and keep in mind that increases are based on what they used to be priced at (growth) not at relative cost to each other.
