neighborhood drive by and legal records How did you finance this deal?

Here's how you can find good deals on properties that might need some work or are priced lower than usual:Connect with People - Make friends with real estate agents, lawyers, and others who know about properties that need to be sold quickly or aren't in great shape.Reach Out Directly - Send letters or use websites to contact property owners who might want to sell fast.Look Around - Drive or walk around neighborhoods to find houses that look like they need fixing up.

Laminate counter tops look ok, not great, but they show very little wear over time and are cheap to replace when they get damaged.We use agreeable gray paint for the walls in all of our rentals - it wears well, shows dirt less than white.

The Poconos Association of Vacation Rental Owners put out an impact study that talks about the big picture which is good.  30 million visitors coming each year, nice things to do, mix of resorts and outdoor destinations that are not overcrowded, a pleasant place to drive to. 

Always think it is extremely important to note that Cap Rate does not drive value on Single Family Rentals since NOI is not the factor for the vast majority of the market - only really relevant for Multifamily and Commercial (BP audience is generally skewed towards residential not commercial investing)

. - The correlation of erosion to buyers purchasing power in monthly mortgage payment (increased property tax's, property insurance, HOA fee's) is a factor I see counter acting a slowly declining interest rate, making for a ~net-0 market activity environment on YOY volume metric. - Leading into home stretch of POTUS election cycle, the above may be a strong catalyst to press the deployment of a stimulus offering in form of home buyer empowerment

I may be missing the point of what you are trying to achieve, and might feel more strongly about this than most, but automated systems like this infuriate me and would actually drive me away from wanting to sell a property to whoever is using it.

One person, hoping to flip contracts and find deals by driving around the neighbor or posting illegal signage isn’t going to create a business, let alone a successful business.  

I would also be looking to separate out the meters after the install and start charging tenants for electric with exception of the one that I'm running the solar thru.

Most permits for single family residential rehab type work is done over the counter.
