The ideal property would meet the above criteria, AND would have a large yard, or ideally, a detached garage that was a suitable candidate for an ADU construction project (CO now allows ADU construction on most properties), and/or a primary structure that had lots of value-add potential. 

Its market-ready condition and strong local demand made it ideal for a fast, profitable transaction, aligning perfectly with Partner Driven’s strategy of securing high-yield properties in promising locations.

Ideally, these would be vacant and abandoned properties that have not been sold in the past 5+ years.

@Jaren Taylor, not sure if this is why you talk about raising all cash, but given most deals are trading in the 5% cap rate range, and agency debt is 6.5% while balance sheet debt is closer to 7%, I whole heartedly agree that all cash is the ideal capital structure for many properties today, if your goal is to maximize overall returns for your investors.  

We’re not married to any Particular development, but ideally we’re looking for something newer (less than 5 years), detached with a good sized pool (not splash pool) We’ve been looking at 4-5 bedroom homes in Championsgate in the under 600k range.  

If you are just getting started here in Chicago, house hacking is the ideal situation.

If you provide any kind of substantial services like catering, car service, etc you will change you tax situation and no longer can file under Schedule E.

Ideally you can provide something extra or unique that you can highlight in your photos and description to stand out. 

Tahoe isn't ideal right now as the local community is vehemently anti-Airbnb and the permitting system is challenging to navigate.

Quote from @Andrew Betts: A single family home with a pool near Disney would be ideal, however there are around 70,000 of those available.
