It's NOT JUST the rent caps, it all the other conditions that come with it too. 

Unfortunately, If there are no other verifiable facts to support a better value, than it is usually futile to appeal based on opinion and/or interpretable characteristics alone (i.e. the Subject is in superior condition to this comp and therefore, it should be valued higher, etc.).

If it's not price or condition, then it is the marketing.

Sure, you can get a conditional approval very easily, but satisfying all the conditions the lender and/or investor has required often can be difficult if not impossible.

SFR - Low cap rate (3% or so) Multi-Units - 10% Cap Rate, but poor condition*Multi-Units - Low CAP rate, tenant occupied*I understand my options for fixing things up at a property, but here are the issues I am running into.. 

Regardless of the unit count the property condition is critical. 

They sucked frankly and it conditions the agent to act like a monkey for people instead of acting like a confident realtor who knows their value.

The house is in good condition, and the rehab cost will probably be around 40-50k.

@Kamryn DeVaultTo invest in a duplex, consider factors like neighborhood quality, economic stability, safety, property condition, cash flow potential, financing options, tenant screening, lease agreements, future potential, legal and zoning considerations, maintenance and management, networking, and starting small and scaling.

Nice weather.
