4) Is there any good way to "calculate" the new appraised value ahead of time to know what to fix/rehab?

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

@J Peterson Did you ever go ahead with it?

That's awesome, you are way ahead of the game and created some opportunity for yourself!

I've honestly seen amazing changes over the years and someone whom flat out told you ahead of time, tells me they're serious and don't want to waste either of you guy's times.

Great job at getting ahead of the curve! 

It's a "Heads I Win, Tails You Lose" proposition. 

Creating the listings are challenging, technology doesn't always make sense or work the way you would like.There are no metrics for your ad being clicked on.
