Having one large 100+ unitsOr5 or 6 10-20 unit multi family?

I like to use a mix of the 2024 HUD Fair Market Rents, MLS previously rented units w/ pictures to see what type of tenant expectation aligns with the rent price, AND Rentometer.com to get a bunch of data on a new market.

Would I have bought as many rentals as I did in the last 10 years with 7% interest rates, probably not; but as with most things timing is everything.Everyone's comfort level will be different.

Below is my high level numbers -Property cost: 500k - 600k, Rehab cost - 100k - 150k, so total project cost: 600k - 750k.Please let me know your thoughts. 

But with 80 units I can handle a big expense or long vacancy.  

The fear now is that they’ll slowly raise the level ]s back to nearly real value.

I recently bought a 2 duplexes deal in cleveland Ohio.  2 of the units are occupied with tenants with lease ending soon Less than 2 months .

Maybe when you're running a REI business and you're looking to scale would it make sense to invest so heavily into education and high level networking. 

what I'm telling people about hilltop is the only reason it's going up is because of the average housing price in columbus being pushed and the lack of inventory. when I started I'd have bought here too. if I was going to invest here I'd look at houses built after 1947 without knob and tube wiring, etc. the old housing is the problem. we are building now in downtown adjacent. land is a buyer's market and it's much less competitive and easy to get the numbers to work. there is very little construction in 43204 and I've transitioned to new construction triplex now with entitlement and larger multifamily projects feel free to message or call anytime. personally, l like new construction in 43203, 43205, 43206, 43223, 43222 right now and obviously 43215 which you have to have at least 600k in cash to get the land to entitle and want to build at least 100 units to make it worth it. 

2/1 apartment units?
