He has adopted the buy and hold strategy where he upgrades the units with granite countertops, new carpet, paint throughout and W/D's, then just sets the rent at the rate of the (normally furnished) comps to set himself above the competition which allows him to find the better tenants that way.

I believe it is.If a house is in such a horrible neigbourhood that it doesnt justify an extra 300-500 dollars for a fridge, I then rather question if the house is even worth flipping.You are competing with all the other houses on the market.Take our flip from last yearhttps://www.zillow.com/homedetails/9-Princess-Pine...We bought it for 64.5K.We were going to list it for 250K but because of our awesome finishes we decided to list it for 299KWe sold it for 335Khttps://www.trulia.com/p/ct/clinton/9-princess-pin...People think it is the expensive stuff (expensive granite or fancy cabinets) that sells a house.Wrong!
