For us we are on stand alone lots so full landscaping front back with sprinklers and fully fenced and we paint our fences so the whole development the fences are uniform.

They then decided to scale, hired Joe Namath as a spokesperson (I know, right there that’s the sign this was headed for disaster) and went around the country drumming up interest in investing in their newly formed REITs.

We have trades we use on jobs and know what they will charge which is often considerably less than what Joe Homeowner would pay for the same job . . . the trades know we will be using them again and again. 

Thanks Joe!  

I’d also recommend @Whitney Sewell's podcast The Real Estate Syndication Show, and other resources like the Joe Fairless podcast.

@Joe Scaparra thank you for the invite!  

This would save time and ensure a fair, uniform process for all applicants.

Now you might be like Joe, know rents for a couple of neighborhoods and can quickly estimate expected cash flow from properties pretty quickly (that's what I do as well) but you still need a screening rule so you invest minimal times on properties you will never put an offer in on.
