I am thinking of putting external burglar iron bars if insurance allows.

Definitely use an external pricing tool like Pricelabs, consider allowing pets with a fee (an extra $5-8k per year just might make the cost of that new rug more palatable—and it’s unlikely you’ll need one since most pet owners take care of the place), and consider one-night stays if the guests are properly screened.9) Others will disagree and perhaps location has a part to play in areas that are and are not desirable for partying, but to elaborate on the last item above: one-night stays (between other guests) add about $10k NET to my annual bottom line.  

They may still have an ulterior motive, but the external confirmation process acts as a check on their advice.

What should I do prior to the auction besides looking at HCAD, visual external inspection, and market analysis?

I don't think BP lets me put external links in a post, but if you do a search on multi-housing news +manufactured +2023 I bet it will take you right to the article.

That server then backed up to an external hard drive daily, finally, the server backed up to Microsoft Azure every night. 

Looked into some tech solutions like a sense electricity monitor which can help assign electric usage by unit but in CO we have some large heating bills in the winter and the furnace is gas so I'm not sure how that would work...Background about the property:6bed/4bathThree different entry points, one external door per unitOne entrance is the "main entrance" to the home, one is a door in the side yard, one is a door in the backyard.House is divided into main house with upstairs 2-bed + office unit (1), downstairs walk-out basement 2-bed unit (2) and 2-story above the garage 1-bed unit (3)State is CO, not in Denver proper but a nearby suburbThe suburb has a lot of small multifamily (2-8 units) so it's very common for the area but not necessarily as common for this particular bock which is mostly ranch-style homesPlenty of parking, so that is not an issueThe unit is zoned residential without the ability to register it as a multifamily with the city but there is commercial and mixed use/multifamily across the street so it's not super out of character for the neighborhood and I'm not worried about neighbors complaining I currently have three rentals in the Denver area - two are mid-term rental condos in Denver, one single family home in a Denver suburb I live in and house hack by renting out the top floor but will be renting as one unit single family home when I move into this next property for simplicity sake.

There is space for a nice-sized kitchenette which will include a fridge, an electric stovetop with an external vent above, two countertop sections, a nice-sized sink, cabinets, and a pantry underneath the stairs. going to then add a small separate room for the water heater and stackable laundry unit.

If there is a drop in prices it won't because of the development it will be more on external factors.

I don’t currently have external cameras on the properties, but I’m considering adding them.
