Virginia Beach offers numerous investment opportunities, both in-state and out-of-state.

It’s a fairly sophisticated operation, with an unusually long time lag between first identifying the unclaimed funds, tracking the beneficiaries, obtaining a contract from said beneficiaries, gathering all the documents needed for “proof”, dealing with numerous government agencies, and finally hopefully having your client receive the funds and you getting paid.

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.

Identify some sizzle features that are NOT expected in typical rentals in your market and look to add a couple (NOT ALL) and only the ones that are easiest to add (low hanging fruit).

Have always owned homes but would consider a condo with an amazing view or unique features. 

I've analyzed numerous 1-4 unit residential deals for both cash flow and appreciation and haven't seen anything close to those numbers.  

Upgrading these features can significantly enhance the appeal of your property and justify the higher rent you aim to charge.  

That is a significant difference.I've read numerous times that investors who don't set enough aside for maintenance and/or big ticket items often get hit hard and go out of business/go broke when big ticket items do pop up.
