I find Redfins interface to be very intuitive, and better laid out than our MLS.I would however not ever use a Redfin agent, particularly as a buyer.  

Some of the things that come into play include: school district rankings, crime rate, median income in the area, median rental rate, presence of vacant or boarded houses, overall condition of properties, % of homes that are rentals, amount of retail non-distressed sales to homeowners, # of Section 8 rentals, and your own opinion/intuition as an expert in your market.

@Todd MossHi Todd - hard to say exactly as I'd think this decision will largely rest on an assumption / intuitive feel for possible appreciation of the property over time. 

Also in addition to Intuit's support, there is lots of online information about how to use it. 

If something seems off, but you're not sure what, it's your intuition.

For example a lot of beginners will see a cap rate that is very high for their market and think thats a good thing while more experienced investors will consider it as a red flag or an indicator that the property is undesirable for some reason: could be it is in a bad location, is in poor condition, will have limited appreciation, etc. which might be counter-intuitive for someone solely focused on getting a certain cap rate.

Seemingly small changes like stabilized rent growth rate can make a big difference on IRR, which is already kind of a tricky metric to have an intuitive feel for.Additionally, one should in my opinion focus more on the team than the specific deal.

Updates should make the system more intuitive and streamlined, they went backwards on this one. 

There's not a typical ratio that I know of, but you can intuitively know what a reasonable number is given the immediate vicinity and when it's been vacant in the past.

That's your choice.Then I'd talk to a Landscape Architect and have the person come up with some curb appeal ideas, and then get bids on that.If the total cost comes in below the per door cost to move forward then it "MIGHT BE" a go.I believe looking at each unit as one job to be completed is more intuitive than looking at the whole complex as a job to be completed.
