Often you can do large lot sizes vary cheaply but smaller lot sizes require a much more stringent permitting and approval process and significantly more money.It might impact your decision on what you develop.

I really can't say what my average return was because over the decades I didn't keep track, it's not a relevant measurement.

It simply is a metric to measure that your odds of getting a return are better.

Even if it is just a walkaround and not measuring anything; the contractor should be there if you are new to this to give you an estimate.. 

The DSCR is a financial metric that measures a property's ability to generate enough income to cover its debt obligations.

To that end, I made a Google sheets document with every hospital system in GA along with the following data:CityZip CodeRentometer 2/X   (what a 2 BR, any bath) goes for on Rentometer)RentRentometer 3/1+ Rent (what a # BR, 1.5+ bath) goes for on Rentometer)"Minutes to home"  (how far a drive it is for us)"Staffed Beds"  (measure of how big a hospital is)"Total Discharges" (a different measure of hospital size)"Patient Days"  (yet another different measure of hospital size)"Gross Patient Revenue ($000)" (you guessed it, hospital size)Map Searches & Housing Requests (this and everything below was from FF.com stats page)Furnishedfinder.com Page ViewsTotal RoomsPrivate Rooms % UnitsHotels% Whole Place > 2500 %Whole Place > 2k < 2.5k %Whole Place > 1.5k < 2k %Room > 1500 %Room > 1k < 1.5k Page view per roomThis allowed us to narrow our search to hospital systems near us (less than 2 hours) in a less competitive market (higher page views per room advertised on FF.com) with a significant % of units being rented on FF.com at higher rents (more $). 

Can anyone suggest a few towns that have workable or less stringent regulations?
