I was going to do Apple TV but it sounds like remotes are an issue.

It may feel like you are missing an opportunity by not screening everything but if your scope is too wide you are no longer comparing apples to apples.  

Just make sure you're not comparing apples and oranges. 

:I dunno...I’d spend the extra $83,000 a year just to avoid Austin summers, plus gain the myriad walkable amenities S.F. has to offer.right off the top you will spend zero on Air conditioning in SF and will spend much more in Austin :)  its apples and oranges. 

You can look up CBRE's North America Cap Rate Survey, which will list cap rates for major markets, and some secondary markets as well, however this is for larger asset classes, so it is not apples to apples if you are looking at smaller buildings.

Wholesalers like apple pie.

Have them send you some apples to apples comparables. 

Similar type of house( Just think “apples to apples”)5.

I don’t always have them, but any time I have new contractors or multiple bids, I make sure to have a good SOW for apples to apples bids that can be used later in case issues arrive.

For rentals I look mostly at cap rate as that to me is the best apples to apples comparison, I know what the big players look for in the area and can gain some knowledge from there.
