Which is better?

Multifamily can do a bit better, but may need more CapEx.

Please tell me if there is a better way?

Padsplit may be a better resource for you to see if a by-the-room model is a better fit.

I’ve invested considerably into the community to make it better.

Since we typically acquire properties that require at least cosmetic work and the tenants are paying below market value, it is always better to coordinate a reasonable timeframe with the seller for the tenants to leave.

I feel that I know the local residential market well and have a good grasp on purchasing solid SFHs. 

Days on market are less as well which shows me that demand is still very much there.With affordability and inflation playing the biggest factors into why a lot of buyers are settling with a condo or townhome to start in hopes of moving up to something bigger and better as the market continues to appreciate and trend upward.I fully anticapte the remainder of this year to be a very busy one with a lot of buyers entering back into the market with talks of rates coming down in the Spring.

He tells me they are the most reputable companies in the area, blah blah, to trust him, and I won’t find a better price anywhere (true, their google reviews are top notch and they are a relatively larger company, which I normally don’t like frankly price-wise.

It's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your investments.
