To clarify, this is 102 multiunit properties transacted, not 51 duplexes for example. 2017 showed over twice the number of transactions as the 2011 low point and the trendline suggests that we will see a steady increase in 2018 units compared to 2017.Median sale price peaked in 2007 at 167k, and decreased gradually for the next 7 years before reversing itself back in the upward direction slowly.Volume is the total sum of transacted unit purchase prices. in 2005 nearly 54 million dollars in multifamily property was transacted, compared to just 33 million in 2017. 

You’re obviously trying to fight above your weight class here.

If there’s not many then it’s likely to carry more weight.

Some lenders are now giving more weight to an owner occupied offer.

FHA has been taking a lot of losses in the mortgage insurance fund over recent years, so they've been gradually bumping the MIP premiums to compensate. 

I decided early on to hire a good maintenance guy and he's been worth his weight in gold since he communicates well and helps a ton dealing with tenants.

The Fix and Flip product puts alot of weight on experience. 

I wouldn't put so much weight in average daily rate but more on what you can make in a year as it's highly seasonal.

This is called the “band of investment” technique, whereby you take the weighted average of your mortgage component and the weighted average of your equity component adding them together to build a cap rate, for example:Mortgage- 75% LTV , 4.5% interest rate, 25 year amortization.

This is my day job, and it's been both horrifying and interesting watching our healthy capital markets gradually deteriorate into a Michael Lewis financial disaster book.
