Our MFH properties in NYC generate fairly good cash flow and over the past 5 years have appreciated *significantly* (75-100%) - but that's a function of the time and the neighborhood.By comparison, our MFH properties in the suburbs outside Raleigh, NC are not likely to ever appreciate in any meaningful way, so it's purely about cashflow (which is also pretty good...)Long-winded way of saying it's not a just comparison to make until you're at the point of comparing specific markets to each other.

However, as my portfolio has grown, ResNexus does not offer the functionality that I need to scale.
