Single-family vs. multi-unit
13 April 2011 | 29 replies
Far less compliance issues, less regulations, code issues, etc. they are not the same.The only a few ways I know of to get 30+% out of a multi is to have it leased under a Section 42 project where you can have higher returns on YOUR money thanks to the funny money from the management fees and tax credits.Another way is to have a non-profit and run a half way house that is exempt from the rules all the other landlords have to play with and stick 8 or 10 residents in some slum at rents they would other wise never pay, but since they are court ordered to live there, they gladly pay higher rents.Another way is to flip an option on one, not really fair since you're not in title, but it is a return off a multi family.Another way would be to buy a discounted note on one, have to foreclose, clean it up and flip it.But, if you're talking about buying a multiat market vale and leasing it up, and just running the project, I doubt it very much.
