Here is something I ran across….(2) 4-plex townhouse in great shape side by side.

I ran the comps and determined ARV = $61k, market around $50-51k and owner wants $55k.

That's what I have and always pay a bunch of principal but it's nice to know I am not required to in the event I ran into a money crunch.

I look for multiple suppliers of employment, industries, government, the average median income, cost of living to rent per unit, demographics and the momentum in demographics in that market given the culture, jobs, and lifestyle etc.

Needless to say, I ran out of there so fast...but, at least I got a free sandwich, apple, chips, and drink...lol.Do not do it...do not pay for resources and education in this field; get your money back if you can...BP is the way to go as a guide.

As far as the plan, I ran the numbers with full rehab in mind but if I can get away with doing less and still achieving the desired result (maximum rental income with great tenants), then I will do less rather than more.

I ran some prelim numbers for you, I don't know what the property tax rates are in your area, and I also don't know anything about your other monthly debts that show up on the credit report.

I ran across a possible deal.

The training and culture at most national houses is geared nearly 100% towards retail sales.

@Jeff Lee I ran in to a similar problem, the box stores (Home Depot & Lowes) didn't have anything that would work for me.
