Craigslist wasn't pretty, but it was easy to use, and it worked (I found lots of great tenants via Craigslist) ...unfortunately, over the years, Craigslist produced fewer and fewer tenants, and more and more spam.  :( These days, nearly all my new tenants come from Facebook Marketplace.  

I highly suspect you folks have never ever been through any kind of civil business litigation and have no clue how expensive and time consuming it can be..

They can handle time-consuming tasks like lease renewals, tenant correspondence, and basic admin work.

The one habit that changed my life was contemplating how every dollar could create another dollar instead of a consumable purchase.

Efficiency: AI tools can automate time-consuming tasks such as property searches, fiscal modeling and even property management.

My thoughts are that if it’s in good enough shape I can sell to a consumer buying with a mortgage company or if needs work sell to an investor for a discount to make a profit.

However, all the sold comps are crossed out after following a three-tiered system to determine the ARV:T1: Stay within one-miles radius, sold for fewer than six-months.T2: Size of the properties are within 200 sqft., must share certain attributes (bedrooms, bathroom, etc.).T3: Compare property typeIn "The Book on Flipping Houses" by J Scott, it mentioned about adjusting the value of the comps to ensures that they resemble the subject property as closely as possible.

Even if the units you tour aren't the one you eventually buy, walking around the area and getting a feel for the property types will help you be a much more informed consumer when you are ready to pull the trigger. 

This can be time consuming and frustrating to keep track of.

Same on the rental side- demand- will be low, so you have to take on less than desirable tenants, which are costly and time consuming.
