I am re-configuring my email client.

Hello all,I am about 16 months out from putting my first offer in on a multi-family. I plan to do an owner occupant loan, and I want to know if you all know of any good average rent calculators that base the rent off ...

I've thought of four options and am soliciting input on those as well as being open to additional ideas:1) We can rent the house for about $3100/month to two small businesses (the building is configured in such a way that they would each have their own space).

At a minimum you should have the property held by an LLC with an umbrella policy as well.The ideal configuration would be to have the property held in a generically named trust with an LLC where you are the managing member named as the trustee.  

I then pull the average rent per sq ft for similar configurations for DFW zip codes as well as sold price per sq ft (from Zillow Research) and used those figures to estimate the monthly rent and rough ARV comp.

@Christian Wathne, our tiny homes are configured to use regular RV hookups.  

The Code acknowledges that certain dwellings may be configured to allow a third person to comfortably sleep in non-bedroom space, and that infants and very young children can share their parents' room."

The biggest factor is what the market will bare as a sales price for  the same configuration (SFR 3/2 or MFU of 8 2/1). 

I have built a % for vacancies and repairs into my formula for configuring ROI.

The 1/1 configurations tend toward higher vacancies as these are typical singles which tend to be more mobile.
