Depends on STNL versus MTNL investments.

Hello bp, I am wanting to convince my partner to step up and go multi family rentals rather than continuing to acquire sf rentals. I think in my mind its the obvious step in an upward progression but I have yet to win...

If you search here you will find several threads discussing renting flats versus renting by the room.There are pros and cons to both, but in a nut shell, renting units is easier administratively: one lease, no housemate drama, tenants carry bulk of utilities.Renting by the room can bring in more revenue, but in that instance each tenant has a relationship with you and not necessarily with each other.  

I would rent it out after rehabbing it but wonder if there is a genuine benefit by doing it this way versus finding my own deal. 

He is weighing the pros and cons of selling versus renting out his home in the GTA.

.$10,000 * 1.09 = 10,900$10,900 versus $5,000 is not 2%, it's 118%

My question is being that a wholesaler does not know whether the end investor buyer will be a rental investor versus an all cash flip investor, how do you determine whether or not to conduct a subject 2 versus an all cash deal (via contract) to seller?

@Chris Mason Thank you for the great information, That would definitely explain why he used the $225,000 it is the closest to the sales price in almost a year.I didn't know about the database that maintains the Fannie and Freddie Mac stats on appraised value versus sales price.

Take the San Francisco metro area for instance, most expensive market in the country with a median home price at $700k, but with a median household income of around $88k versus DC area with a median home somwhere around $475k with a median household income of $93k.  

It appears that you caught the real estate "bug" along the way, and I'd wager this is the first of many.
