A few things:
There is a massive disparity between the current rent and what you believe is the market rent. On the 2s, you want to increase the rent > 100%? Even if you could, you probably have to renovate it, so what’s your cost estimate for that? And what about the inherent vacancy when your tenants move out?
Even with 35% down, I just don’t see how you’re going to get a 30 year am loan with a 5% interest rate. SFRs have lower risk, and you’ll be lucky to get a 30 year on those for 5.75% these days with no points.
Based on the limited data you provided, you really want to make this deal work.
