I also think it might be a good way to attract a quality tenant. 

@Marc TurenneGeneral rule, the single family will attract perhaps a "better" tenant and could be easier to manage.

I only ever use 5% on SFR, which tend to attract families who want long-term stability for their kids.Repairs: at least 7-8%.

Or, is it you're comfortable with the cash flow it produces and just want to keep adding to your portfolio?  

Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.""

2) I find a lot of houses that are producing great cash flow, but I might not be able to capture any equity in the deal during the purchase.

The USDA backed loan is very appealing...but the kicker is that they will only finance non-income producing property from my understanding, or more traditional forms of multifamily property. 

The zoning, lot size and proximity to the highway made it attractive to me.

They own the equity in the property as well as the home itself.Sometimes the asset can also be a liability; sellers can help themselves by assisting buyers facing income, asset, or credit barriers; sellers may fund different types of buydowns to lower rates, provide down payment assistance, or carry all or part of a newly created mortgage note; sellers who are trying to move a property in a slower market make the mistake of simply slashing their asking price; dont give away their equity in a "fire sale," implement techniques described here and get your property sold at a fair price.  1.Seller ContributionsNOT "seller concessions", seller contributions are really a range of incentives or other financial offerings designed to make the deal more attractive and doable for a buyer.a.

In similar circumstances, my priority would be to obtain possession and rent the property to produce income.
