Tenants in many markets already believe they pay too much (contrary to recent studies that show rent to property values have never been lower for the large US cities).If my insurance costs are not double my current rates over the next couple years, I will be pleasantly surprised.  

Most homes in our area double in value every 5-10 years.

I feel like I’m missing the bigger picture of what makes a property a great investment opportunity.If anyone could share some pointers or insights on how to identify a “good deal,” I’d really appreciate it!

Flipping a brand new home likely wouldn’t bring much profit - especially after having to close twice when you first buy it, and later sell it.Maybe you have millions to spend and I’m just missing the big picture… but when I think of “income” I’m usually thinking “net income” after you factor in expenses, like purchase price or building costs?  

Hell, even Motel 6 has a couple of junk pictures screwed to the wall.

Take 100’s of pictures even if small stuff.  

Despite my explanation that I had the funding for smaller deals, 10-20 units they doubled down on me needing to find investors to partner with or to form a syndicate.

Double close: You do actually purchase a property and then sell it the same day to another buyer.

The time saved on seeing that bigger picture is worth it to me.

Have a way to double checking their information they give you on the application.
