We recently completed a study on MTRs, which revealed that MTRs are likely to generate more than $1/SF above long-term rentals.

That works much better at 50+ unit properties.I have made the decision to invest exclusively in SF homes a long time ago, because it requires the lowest amount of management and provides the highest revenue per unit.

If I did my math correctly, on a 3,600 SF triplex where you buy the land for $150k, you generate a gross profit of about $84k (based on a $140/sf build cost and sale price of $205/sf), before you pay interest on any borrowed funds or closing/commission costs.

You have 2 tanks, 1 above the other, with a water wheel (alternator/generator) in the middle. 

Owner-occupying a small multi-family property is a smart move—you're reducing your own housing costs while building equity and generating rental income.

And when people get tunnel vision for lowest $ down, they tend to not give attention to the revenue generation of it, the operations, and that's a VERY dangerous combination of high leverage and not so-good revenue. 

For MTR, the best way to increase nightly revenue is to charge for pets!

I’m living in Bay Area where finding deals that generate cashflow is impossible.

Analyze potential rental income versus expenses carefully to ensure the property will generate income from the start.

At a conservative 6.25% capitalization valuation, the building is worth $16,480,000 in 9 months based on a run-rate NOI of $1,030,000.Key Finacial Highlights:- Projected Total Revenue Potential: $1.15M to $1.7M, reflecting a 48% increase.- NOI Growth: From $603K to a run-rate of ~$1M within the first 12 months, marking a 73% improvement.
