Hey Tanner, Some analysis I'd recommend:-Market Rents-How much renovation is needed to command top $ rents-Is the home located in an appreciating neighborhoodHousehacking is simple!

From what I’ve heard, properties that emphasize tranquility.. like offering outdoor seating areas, fire pits, or even something as simple as a hammock.. tend to perform exceptionally well in remote settings.You’re spot on about STR policies in Johnson City versus Knoxville.

Here is a CSS Decision Diagram flowchart intended to bring together all the various questions when assessing the benefits of a Cost Segregation Study (via a professional or DIY).FYI - You can do a CSS for ~$400, ask @Malik Javed how.

The landlord shall not commingle such moneys with any other funds of the landlord or hypothecate, pledge, or in any other way make use of such moneys until such moneys are actually due the landlord;(b) Hold the total amount of such money in a separate interest-bearing account in a Florida banking institution for the benefit of the tenant or tenants, in which case the tenant shall receive and collect interest in an amount of at least 75 percent of the annualized average interest rate payable on such account or interest at the rate of 5 percent per year, simple interest, whichever the landlord elects.

Maybe begin with a simple buy-and-hold single family home or do a house-hack.

We've taken over DIY managed properties and about 20% of the time it doesn't work out.

If it’s going to be more than the one day loan we actually structure it the same as a regular hard money loan.if it’s a true double close, process is super simple.

That's too simple of a view. 

My core investing philosophy is pretty simple, and has done very well across almost two decades and numerous cities:1) Invest in cities with population (and job) growth2) Invest in parts of the city where household income is near the median (or slightly below)3) Invest in properties that provide cash flow from day 1 Thank you for sharing that. 

How about the simple obvious that the inputs to deliver the service/product have a base-line and market prices have, OBVIOUSLY, been at about as lean of operating profit margins as can be.
