I prefer SFR because they are less affected by an HOA and tenants tend to stay longer, in my experience.

And they tend to appraise refis on the low side.

We just look for that properties that seems to slip under the radar that people tend to mis-judge.The one Duplex we purchased with a side driveway was being sold by a lady who lived there for over 19 years.

Gabe - thanks for the post ...fyi :1) it never hurts to get a HELOC in place for the maximum amount  on your primary home ...if you never use it - you never need to pay anything for it  ....if you need to use it - it will be available  ...most HELOC lenders  only lend on primary  residences and most combined loan to values  tend to be maxed at 90% of value  ( there are exceptions to both of these items ) 2) regarding down payment challenge - there are FHA loans that allow a 3.5% down payment and there are conforming  programs that allow as little as 3% of the purchase price 3) if you are looking  at properties  or thinking about looking ...get pre approved  ( not pre qualified )  in case you need to move on an opportunity thanks and all the best 

People really tend to value the first 1200 sqft the most then the prices go down from there.

They are drudging up the worst of the worst bottom of the barrel properties, which tend to to be really low end properties.

In my experience, the little guys tend to be more aggressive than the big dogs. 

I can recommend specific channels, but wholesaling channels tend to have similar info. 

We tend to keep our fees on the lighter end, but pretty much every syndicator needs compensation for the things.  

They tend to overcomplicate things and often try to come up with twists to one up an agent without a law degree.
