@Kitty Walker- As an investor, I've refinanced multiple Padsplits and co-living properties (where we go direct to tenant without Padsplit), and I generally agree with your last statement, with some caveats:- if the renovation is done well, the appraiser may not even say anything that would indicate it is an "abnormal" SFR (has happened multiple times with me)-the investor may be wise not to make the house crazy- just leave a nice open living room, put double doors on the dining room so it can function as a bedroom now but be easy to convert later, etc.  

If you have multiple properties where you can do this, you can finance a very nice lifestyle and still retain the underlying assets.Just curious the groups' thoughts on this?

Nathan mentioned using a syndication site to push your listing to multiple sites at one time which is also something that I recommend in order to expose your property to as many sites as possible.Some things to consider to maximize the efficiency and giving a perspective resident a great experience from the beginning to having a scheduling link available in your description for specific days and times that you can show the property so that you can capture your leads wanting to tour the property without them having to wait for a response from you and scheduling a one off time.I would recommend investigating in having professional photography taken if you are leasing in a market that has a lot of competition since your photos will have your property stand out and drive traffic.Good luck!

Visit multiple groups to evaluate their goals, values, and focus.

@Jacob NevarezGeneral red flags include many days on market (60 days+), few photos available online, under contract & reactivated multiple times, and no price drops if it has been on the market a while.

Local MLS AccessHaving access to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) allows you to stay ahead of new listings and price changes.

I've had great success with the BiggerPockets Featured Agent program, closing multiple deals this year from the leads they've provided.

There are redundant questions asked multiple times a day "I have XXX dollars, What do I do with it?"

Not that you can't operate them now, but probably a good idea to have multiple exit strategies.

You want one who has multiple investment properties in Columbus and can prove it.
