Technically you'd have to run an IRR analysis and then compare on that basis.When you focus on one type of property in one town you will quickly start to see tha patterns.

Over many years I found SFR attract a more stable 'clientele' whereas those in MF's act more like 'inmates', that may exhibit classic passive aggressive, agnostic behavior patterns between each other.

Have you identified a niche subset of a type of property that you think will suit you and funneled a list around that?

-In the background and short of contacting previous landlords directly, I've been verifying the information the potential tenants have provided and I've identified discrepancies.

I'm looking to process real time real-estate data from a variety of sources (MLS, Craigslist, FB Marketplace) through a prediction model to identify value deals.  

Other details that are sometimes used in a valley are a weave pattern or California Cut. 

Modular" homes do have many of the value points that you state in you post in that you can generally have you modular built faster and cheaper than stick built.I am in the middle stages of vetting modular companies here in Texas and will be working to build out several modular duplexes on a piece of land I have identified, jut working with the county engineering team to verify infrastructure.

I've amassed a ton of skills over the years as a 5th-grade teacher, professional competitive swim coach and a marketing leader that I'm positive have me well-positioned to take on this challenge.I've identified 12 potential properties within 15-20 miles of my home, that look RIPE for a great deal. 

There is a new identified risk.  

@Paolo Sciarra I'll echo @Todd Dexheimer and add Wilmington and Asheville (smaller markets, obviously).Additionally Greenville, Spartanburg, Columbia, and Charleston in SC are growing as well.I track population growth trends in this publicly available spreadsheet as I believe it's a very good indicator of the positive long term trends that support the MFH asset class (not the only one, but a great one).https://docs.google.com/spread...It's all based on government data and identifies both perennially high growth metros, as well as recent accelerators (Flint, Michigan - really!)
