Residential propertiea have a much larger pool of buyers, thus higher demand, thus higher price.Whether these are two quads, or a single 8 unit will be in thebtax records.

If you go larger with commercial loans they base it more on the asset so your personal debt is less of an issue.

Next door to these properties on 1 side can be a 700k new build, and next door on the other side could be a boarding house. 

I don't think so.To "remediate", sheetrock the whole house with new moldings and doors. 

.$100....maybe $150 per door, per month (this is in the Fort Collins, CO area).

@Mike Flora  I was at J Martins last Oakland event.. and Bruce Norris did the keynote and I sat with Sean at dinner.Bruce likes SFR and half the Q and A for him was exactly that when is the crash coming and how deep will it be.his comments now were geared towards west coast but I do believe they are germane in many markets.He feels a market is not heading down until 20 to 30% or more of MLS is foreclosure acitivty or short sales and in our area that boat has sailed.. there is very little of either.He did mention though that he felt MF was  to use his words  " FROTHY"  his statement was when he talks to other MF owners and ask them would you buy your property for what you could sell it for today or a like kind one.. it was a resounding NO.. which to him or his point was he felt it was over valued and at some risk for moving backwards.. and from my VERY limited knowledge on MF I suspect that only happens in an over build situation to many doors not enough renters and you have rental bonus wars..

You will not hear much first hand antidotal evidence to support the need.Whether you do or don't is simply a personal decision in my opinion rather than a business decision.

The only time I've met managers who charge this little is in larger markets and with volume discounts (like you have 20-30+ units under management).

I'll let the professionals handle the management of the property.All the best,Jorge I thought about it, but it is just 1 door, and since I'm going to live next that I want to learn managing.

Were the small and mid-sized manufacturers or larger manufacturers?
