Where these numbers are found, there is a very high rate of rent actually being paid.We have over a dozen Fortune 500 companies just in Metro Detroit with huge Healthcare, Auto, and mortgage industry National footprints.

Yes, residential does give me a lower cap rate, but it's more stable. 

The terms are also similar to conventional investment property loans - 30 year fixed rate, 30 year amortization (or up to 10 years interest-only).

Keep in mind if you buy another primary residence, you'd have better rates, terms and can pay as little as 5% down for multi family up to 4 units.

Cold calling is something that has become something I enjoy.

The current tenants are month to month and not interested in buying, and the existing mortgage balance is assumable (3.65%) for qualified buyers.I know it's a great house -- and with the assumable mortgage -- a great buy for someone looking to save with current interest rates sitting as they are. 

The metrics I'm primarily focused on are: rent appreciation rate, property appreciation rate, economic growth rate, unemployment rate on the macro level.

With homes staying on the market longer, be aware of interest rates, as they can influence buyer affordability.

The refi, worth current rates will severely inhibit your cash flow. 

Many have pulled out of insuring multifamily properties or only cover up to 4-unit buildings.While Allstate doesn’t have a unit cap, they do cap total coverage at $750K on a landlord policy—which is why I’m exploring options for supplemental coverage.The carrier raised my rate by ~86% on all three properties under this policy.
