In the paid community "Commercial Deal Academy" there was a post about duplex, triplex, etc. How to evaluate properties such as these when they come up in your search. From an investment perspective, I would not evaluate a duplex, triplex, or fourplex like a single-family rental. There are really two different ways to look at these properties: For financing and appraisal - 1–4 units are residential. - Lenders often use residential loan programs. - Appraisers may rely heavily on comparable sales (especially for duplexes and fourplexes). For investing Treat them like small multifamily assets because their value to you comes from the income they produce, not just what similar properties sold for. For example: - Single-family home - Purchase: $300,000 - Rent: $2,000/month - You care about neighborhood appreciation, resale value, school district, and comparable sales. - Fourplex - Purchase: $600,000 - Rent: $6,000/month - You care about occupancy, operating expenses, NOI, cash flow, DSCR, and return on investment. The fact that a fourplex is legally “residential” doesn’t change how an investor should analyze it. Scott's approach, because it's the broker in me..... I use both methods: 1. Check comparable sales to avoid overpaying relative to the market. 2. Underwrite the income to determine whether it actually meets my investment criteria. If the numbers don’t work, I don’t buy it—even if the price is below comparable sales. Conversely, a property that’s priced above nearby comps might still be attractive if it has exceptional income or can be improved to increase its income. For someone building a rental portfolio, the income analysis should drive the decision, while comparable sales serve as a reality check on the purchase price. That’s the mindset that also prepares you for larger multifamily and commercial acquisitions. ...this took forever to write...I'm done...I think the GIF is stupid funny......who is with me....made you look

From the Associated Press: “The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act aims to lower the cost of housing and spur more home construction. It’s the broadest federal effort in decades to address America’s housing affordability problems, as state and local regulations have made it difficult to build in many of the communities that are also sources of job growth and economic opportunity. White House economists estimated earlier this year a national shortage of 10 million homes and the bill could help to close a portion of that gap.” In my opinion, while it’s not going to solve ALL of the problems regarding the housing affordability crisis, it’s a fine start at crafting a truly bipartisan piece of legislation. Take the time to go through it & see how it can help your wholesaling business, your real estate development business, your land flipping business, your note holding business, your multifamily business, etc. https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/6644 https://bipartisanpolicy.org/explainer/whats-in-the-21st-century-road-to-housing-act/

I came across a self-storage opportunity in a major MSA that would be considered a heavy-lift value-add deal. The property appears to need significant operational improvements and is likely best suited for an experienced operator comfortable with turnaround opportunities. Is anyone here actively acquiring heavy-lift self-storage assets in major MSAs? If so, send me a message and I'd be happy to discuss the opportunity further.
