Hello @Brian Cronin,Do not select a property (type) and hope the tenants it attracts will provide a reliable rental income.

I think CoC returns above 10% are what attract most people to bring on the headache of tenants versus throwing their cash into the S&P.

I know in California there are limits to personal loans (10%) so that limits the attraction for investors. 

Long-term mortgages are funded by mortgage-backed securities and, to attract investors, they would have to provide a return that is North of what they could get "risk-free", meaning the Treasury.

The agents and investors who thrive are the ones who learn how to attract leads, build a brand, and market themselves consistently.

In Kissimmee, that's already happened.  9br homes in Champions Gate were $900k+ a couple of years ago, now available in the $600k range or a little bit more with theming already done.With prices dropping a lot, the returns relative to gross revenue are starting to look attractive. 

Plus the fee's they can make looked very attractive..

The city also has steady rental demand thanks to Ohio State University and a growing workforce, and you can still find properties in the $120K–180K range that cash flow and hit the 1% rule, which makes it attractive for both long-term and mid-term strategies.

Areas near transit, universities, or job centers usually attract renters.

Hi,I'm currently considering buying a single family residence.I have some questions,1) Which is more attractive for students, a single story house or two story house?
