The 5-6 room SFR still would be valued using comps as a regular SFR and financed as a typical SFR property though.I'd say about 10-15% of buy and hold investors do this or a variation of it.1 example would be one investor I know buys SFR's with 5-6+ rooms and splits the rooms for international students.Another example is a investor/contractor that builds 10 room rehab homes. 

Even though @Scott Trench improved the post with more levels of variation and clarity (and taking age into account), now we can find other areas left out: such as cost of living

At 100% financing (or some variation on that) your cash-flow is much less.  2.)

Then you are off to the races you want to run.When I read a variation on the "hate my job and I want passive income" I always think...so what?

Luckily, I haven't had to go to trial by jury or dealt with a BK filing... yet.

Rich Dad's Cash Flow Quadrant (I've a few of the variations, but this is one's my fave)2.

from what I have read is the Arkansas is one of the most landlord friendly.Oregon just passed state wide rent control.. but it really moot as it allows raising of rents higher than what the market will bear anyway.. so for non pay events its not a state were the folks can squat for months or a year like some others.we just got a eviction done yesterday on a hold over ( we own the house they were suppose to move) filed in first week of December trial yesterday order to move out by Jan 24. 

I paid for the smallest membership as a trial run and with that, you can only send out 3 emails a day through the website.

Or some variation on this.
