How come rental houses in the suburbs with a few apartments in them
usually always cost much much much less to buy than if these houses
were just a one-family houses?

In some areas I am pondering moving to (and ones that years ago that I
used to ponder moving to), the houses for the price that I want to
spend are either too big for me or too small. It's difficult to
impossible to find one that's inbetween.


From what I've seen in real estate brochures and online, you get more
for your money in hotels too. I am pondering buying a hotel and then
turning it into my own private house.
