If you cant afford it or need the money you would generate from selling it for another property, sell it!!!

I’m currently on the lookout for small MFRs that will be able to generate cash-flow.

Crafting an arrangement that positions your rentals to generate the most VALUE - which should help you generate the most NOI is the name of the game.So, if managing the utilities is something you want on your plate, then write an all-inclusive lease.If you don't wish to be bothered, then make Tenants jointly responsible for utilities, etc.Best to you.

And most agents have no idea how to do a double close.4) New ways for lead generation.

My generation was sold the expensive college guru package WITH easy financing.

We love the area ourselves, and we found reports of rentals like ours generating $25k - $30k, gross.

You'll need to run your own analysis of the units itself, income generated, typical expenses such as, taxes, vacancy factor, insurances, utilities etc... 

Personally, they've all washed into the background when I'm driving around but one creative sign did sign out because the presentation and message was simple and more professional than a sharpied sign crudely tacked up on a light pole.Let me know if they've work for you as a cost effective lead generation strategy.

The amount of money it takes to generate the income is one metric.  

@Bevla ReevesIt has generated me a lot of business - as I am a Loan Officer, but this would work with any field of real estate.
