From looking at Furnished Finder, Craigslist, Fbook marketplace, Zillow, the rents for MTR vs LTR don't seem that different (although are a bit all over), and I'm having a hard time assessing demand for MTR. 

Given the state of the stock market over the last few years, I'm looking for a way to invest in certificates to gain an interest rate higher than what banks are offering and returns that higher than the stock market right now.

When the current tenant’s lease is over ask your PM what market rents is.

I have some guys that are sitting on houses because they went over budget , and over improved for the neighborhood .Have a exit plan .

I immediately went over and shocked the well !

They know value will over the long haul go up.

In growing markets I’d always recommend BRRRRs over flips if possible.You'll probably still have to keep money in the deal but it's way better than putting down the whole 20% LTV. 

This is due to the number of months the Bank/Lender is required to hold in escrow for both taxes and home owners insurance.As an example if you buy a home at or over $500K and the taxes are $9800 a year and you buy in a certain month you may be required to have 1 year up front paid on HOI & Taxes plus several months escrowed.

Long story short, the read went over budget.

We work with over 80 investors, a majority of which are wholesalers.
