I think paint might add a bit, even if you're planning on painting already - because fresh drywall needs more paint compared to already painted drywall.

I don't see any possible scenario where the duplex could bring that much more cash flow compared to the SFR.SFR tends to bring 40-50% more per door when compared to duplexes.

I dont think it gives any competitive advantage to withold that as most people here are professionals and like to compare.

I hear apartment buildings and some people think duplex,tri-plex,quad.I define it as 5 or more units for commercial purposes that will use the income approach as compared to the comparable sales approach and commercial financing versus traditional lending.Each size of building and units will have various things to analyze.You first need to define how much money you have to actually get started and that will determine to an extent what size you start out with among many other factors.

Compare that - after research - to your winning chances and the level of collectability (is that a a word?)

Hello, I'm brand new to notes and wondering if these look like good deals.Non-Performing - #1 - Principal Balance - $30,062.77 at 11% purchase at $8k - ARV - $135kPerforming - #2 - Principal Balance- $155,745.61 @2% purchase at $60k - ARV - $100k#3- Principal Balance - Principal Balance $119,062.23 @3.5% - Purchase price $60k - ARV - $135kThe benefits I think compared to rentals is that there is no tenants, but I'm not sure if banks are willing to refinance notes since I know banks are willing to refinance rental property?

When searching for comparables to determine an after repaired value on a property, how close are they from your subject property?

Buying/renting a house in DFW is insanely easy compared to much of the rest of the country.

When you ask the seller to show you the comparables, the seller is very likely to only include those that support the asking price, and is likely to EXCLUDE those that DO NOT support the asking price.

This also puts you at risk for utility fluctuations.My experience with roommate situations is they are comparing to rent and don't factor in add ons.
