Hi Tony - There are many opportunities out there - my answer is initially NO - you are adding extra risk for yourself & possible investors. There are times when a area "had" bad stats - yet the area has improved and is on it's way up - City is investing $$ back into the communities and you see changes and the stats are confirming the positive changes -- then that "may" be something to take a look at - but again only if you have previous experience and you have a Property Management Company that has experience in the area.
I hope this is helpful -

One simple answer "Economies of Scale"
If you own 4 SF (which I do) for the same investment that I own 400 MF units ... well that's a pretty easy formula.
Next event is in March - it changed our lives - reach out should you want more info.

Hi John, if you have access to Co-Star or ALN Research - they can help you TREMENDOUSLY - to estimate the 'AVERAGES' in the particular submarket for the expenses - Another great resource is property management companies - as they have experience in these areas and especially in the submarkets - Also - if you are ever considering a MF Complex you should also be able to ask the Selling Broker / or Seller for the T12 - Or Trailing 12 month financials - which should give you a history of the property itself - If you ever make it to Texas I have a great seminar to referr you too - - I hope you find this helpful - if so please VOTE - Good luck to you - MF is much better than SF - I've done both - Best to you!!
