so... clean-out and demo? 

As a general contractor, i feel best suited for fix and flip or BRRR method investing.

What tools or methods do you use for conducting property analysis without stepping foot on the property?

They develop, they build, they finance, they property manage, they will have HAO, cleaning crew etc. etc. etc. so the subsidiary companies make money every step of the way.From investor perspective: The investor pay $15 K to reserve the right to purchase 25 multiplex over the year of next 5 years. 5 each year.

You have to have a method to develop a cash snowball.

My profile has my YouTube channel and I have an episode that shows you exactly how to create the comp set and look at amenities that matter, what others are paying for cleaning and how other listings look - that way you can see how to best market your property. 

Couple quick swipes of the planer, cleaned up the sides to get rid of the bumps, nice and smooth.

At that time I will get the house cleaned up and list it on the market and when it sells I've agreed to get reimbursed my costs for reinstatement plus any other costs plus a fee for my efforts.

Most successful STR owners I work with in the Pocono's/Lake Wallenpaupack PA utilize only someone to clean, and a few local handymen.

Consider cleaning, lawn care, snow removal and supplies as well as utilities  in your calculations.
