And income, there were 4plex rentals that I was able to find, but the listing was usually for 1 STR unit or LTR.

I usually advise folks moving to a new area to rent for awhile to get the lay of the land.

The R8 zoning in one City may have the same description/requirements as the RT-4 zoning in another City...

These areas tend to attract more reliable, long-term tenants who are usually more financially stable and take better care of the property.

I only invest in A and  B areas  that usually makes renting some what easy .Having rentals loaned out to the wazoo can cause a lot of stress on owners to rent out immediately  .If the market softens up winter etc...

Very refreshing to see such a great and clear plan and attitude.. net work=>net worth  usually:)

I usually print out the market rent provided by Zillow and a few other websites. 

As others have stated, your fit & finish goals should be guided by whether you plan to:1) Rent: tenants don't always take care of a property, so you want to use lower-grade materials and workmanship.2) Flip: higher quality on workmanship and materials is usually required.Regardless, you always want to "Maintain to the Neighborhood".

They usually say "Did you pay rent" and if the answer is no or the tenant starts giving excuses, the judge  shushes the tenant like Judge Judy then moves on to "can you move out by yourself or do I need to have the sheriff help you move out?" 

We are also considering an investment property loan so we could then stay in our current place and then rent out our 2nd property.Thats a good thing to keep in mind about STR revenue.How do you usually run your numbers and know what revenue to expect before buying a property?
