They look rough on the exterior and most of them are located in the class C neighborhood.

The one challange is maintaining the exterior, of the home being so close to a school it gets beat up.

With a dozen properties over 25 years I have yet to spend a dollar on a roof or painting a house exterior.

They'll likely have follow up questions about who handles maintenance, larger SD, etc... so be prepared to quickly answer these.Value to mention:- Professionally cleaned property after each stay and exterior upkeep- Staged photos that you can share with the owner for marketing purposes- Capex coverage up to $XX,000 (might need to include in SD)- Extra $XXX per month (likely may need to pay a little extra in rent to make it worthwhile, otherwise they can collect the same amount as LTR)Also, google "Airbnb apartments" or check their website. 

I got a quote for 8K sft retail from a construction company for around $120/sft, this includes site prep, utilities, metal building erection, exterior finishes, interior insulation etc (basically build the shell from scratch).

But I was thinking only about the exterior, it did not even dawn on me that your furniture ignites from the radiant heat through the windows!

Unfortunately, it looks as if the management company and the HOA board are evading their responsibility for this matter.As the management company are only responsible for exterior maintenance I feel it should be the responsibility of the HOA board but I do not know who they are and neither do any of my neighbours and the management company are ignoring my requests for their contact details!

In these early stages of learning and developing as an investor, I'm primarily focused on properties that may require the following: paint, flooring, bathroom/kitchen remodel, drywall, light fixtures, exterior landscaping, siding, or new HVAC.

Chipping paint on exterior is going to be be your downfall.

I also completely renovated the exterior.
