Fixing up a property and turning it into student housing is a smart move—steady demand and solid rental income.Great job!

Both can save time and improve efficiency, depending on how hands-on you want to be. 

STR and MTR are basically full time jobs when you're booked.

I think I can do a good enough job of listing it. 

Also, magistrates don't even have to be lawyers to get the job!

By a professional estimate I mean having a contractor bid the work, not just me estimating the jobs. 

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

But around here some of the screening services that claim to do background checks do a lousy job of it.

Man you are doing a great job! 

You could post the job description being as detailed as possible.
