Might be worth doing some soul searching to make sure that is the direction you guys want to go. 

While 20% down improves cash flow by eliminating PMI, it delays entry into the market, potentially missing appreciation.

You'll want to search for a property management company to handle it for you.

Quote from @Ashley Mierez: I would search local meetups..

This successful project highlights our teamwork and ability to maximize value through strategic investments and improvements.

Did it improve results here?

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

I’m trying to get a better understanding of the unlevered IRR hurdles SFR / BTR investors have for value-add improvements.By "value-add improvements" I’m referring to upgrades made to a property that increase rent or purchase value, often including kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, solar and other energy efficiency improvements, fresh paint, a new garage door, finishing a basement, adding a deck, and updating flooring, to name a few.I’ve been hearing a lot of different reactions to this question the last few months.

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

I'm not the most handy and have thought of taking a person knowledgebale in home improvement or a handyman to tour the property with me (after my offer is accepted) to gauge potential issues with the home and have a better idea of the home's condition before I have the home inspection.
