My entry doors are always a neutral color to compliment the exterior.

This to me is reasonable, as opposed to investing all your wealth, or something 50%+ of your net worth, into a higher risk strategy.

From the exterior it doesn't look too bad and there are tenants living there, but these are factors I will look into.

The closing costs are much less on a per unit basis on your MFRs, as opposed to a package of SFRs needing individual appraisals, title work, etc.So you can buy a nicer B-class MFR property with moderate 75% financing, and enjoy higher ROI than your unleveraged SFRs.Or you can buy a C-rated MFR with high enough occupancy to get financing, and really capture a huge ROI.You can also lock in 30 year fixed rate financing on larger MFR properties that is totally unavailable on SFR packages.And obviously you can take down a bunch of units at once and get your capital to work.

The last one we did was pretty darn similar, although we kept the exterior envelope to a greater extent.

That being said, I'm not opposed to a little hard work and "payment of dues" to learn what we need to learn to be successful.
