You mentioned about appreciation being the main component of returns.

@Joshua MetzgerFirst rule is you need to "stop the scroll", so as others noted, high quality photos of the most visibly appealing components of the property.Professionally designed interior.  

True, these involve a real estate component, but really, you’re starting a business. 

Florence is a University town, plus a strong military retiree component. 

Risk assessment is a critical component of the underwriting process.

One of them carefully looks through and tinkers with every component.

Figuring out the funding component is fairly straightforward from there. 

For newly constructed, purchased or renovated properties and also retroactive generally over the last 10 years, building components are properly classified into individual units of property and accurate recovery periods for computing depreciation deductions.

They are also simpler over the life of the unit to maintain because there are just three main components instead of four(+) with HVAC.  

And finding what components in what condition = what $ and time in sold.
