From there we identify properties that could have some potential and if you are interesting in diving deeper, 1) we do a thorough video walkthrough to give you a realistic look of the property, 2) we give a ballpark estimate of rehab costs (we do 40 a year with our GCs o we will get pretty close), 3) we talk through market rent with our property management team, ARV, and potential highest and best use.Ideally you find great investor agents who know their market really well and have a network of resources to provide you with enough confidence to take reasonable action.

As for your ques if to wait, well, it depends on the market, in some parts of the country prices are still going up, slower, but still going up, other parts the prices are coming down, you know that area, what is happening there? 

Now for some nice winter shots then schedule for summer so you can add them as well.

Yes there can be an investment component, but it must be your primary residence as well.

If the law allows, I will sometimes move the personal items to storage, which is much cheaper than lost rent, so I can clean up the rental and find a new tenant.
