Sharing your findings could uncover some valuable insights for everyone!

This thread has been helpful, and I think really any situation where a tenant has demonstrated the kind of behavior I was concerned about should be uncovered (and can therefore be documented) in the vetting process.

That's when the not-so-nice kid with a backpack of toy's often runs into a not-so-happy "big brother" with a "baseball bat".... 

What I can say is I recently did a home inspection on a property which uncovered a lead inlet pipe into the house. 

That led to uncovering significant water damage throughout the first-floor unit's bathroom, forcing an immediate renovation.

It’s about uncovering high-demand niches that hold up even during fluctuations in the broader market.What I’m describing aligns partly with absorption, but I’m looking for a tool that allows me to drill down into the components of that absorption rate—filtering by factors such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, home type, amenities, and more.Do you see merit in this approach?

A detailed financial analysis and property inspection will help uncover any surprises. 

Apply the 70% rule to determine your maximum allowable offer, then negotiate and get the property under contract, ensuring your agreement includes inspection and financing contingencies.Arrange professional inspections to uncover any unforeseen issues, using these findings to negotiate concessions or confirm your repair budget.

They offer more than just savings—you build relationships, gain leverage, and uncover opportunities no one else knows about.

I am not sure how a showing did not uncover the attitude of these prospective tenants.
