Also know that upon sale sometimes the presence of more water meters increases value.Curious to understand the forum's opinion on the best water meter configuration given costs OR if it’s just not worth it and I should leave the one master meter and stick with RUBS on all 4 units.

I’m considering amulti-family property in the 76104 zip code of Fort Worth, TX, and I’d love your feedback to help determine if this is a good deal.Property DetailsAsking Price: $169,999 (seller says it’s negotiable).Current Rental Income: $2,400/month (duplex is vacant).Configuration: Combination of duplex and triplex units.Some units are rented at below-market rates.The duplex and need rehab.Historical Income: Seller claims it previously brought in $5,000/month when fully occupied.ConditionBuilt in 1934, so it’s an older property.Some permits were recently pulled (e.g., plumbing, window replacements, and sheetrock repairs), but it still needs work to get the vacant units ready to rent.It’s located in a neighborhood with a higher crime rate but also near major highways and areas with rental demand (e.g., downtown Fort Worth and Texas Christian University).My Goal:I’m focused on cash flow, and this property seems like it could work if I can stabilize it.

New to Arizona and I am seeing a few properties with next gen configuration.

It seems to me that they all whether paid of free, will all have the same exact amount of houses because all the transactions are all public and so they seem to compete with each other based on the quality of the data of the houses, how up to date it is, and the user experience in configuring the how the layout is.

In current configuration (3 br, 1 ba), I had an ARV of 324k.

What I've found is that it offers too many configurations and if the user isn't aware of what the outcomes are, it can actually make them loose more money faster.

You can use a tool like AirDNA to get estimates of property performance in your specific market and with your typical size and configuration of home.

Not knowing the configuration of the church the appraisal may be less than your purchase cost plus rehab costs.  

I use the FF stats page to see what average prices are by unit configuration and make sure I'm at the high end.

Then configure this into your preferred CRM and you're off!
