Calling the appraiser to see what you can do to push it up a "C-Level" would be smart before doing any reno also, might only need a few things to make it far more valuable in the eyes of the bank.I've heard of a tactic for figuring out demand, which is to put up a dummy or coming soon listing on facebook marketplace and see the amount of activity you get on it. 

This would allow us to have a clear bird-eye view of the various data in order to analyze and take decisions Second Point:I would prefer to manage it internally for confidentiality purposes.

Pro:- it’s trained to look for safety risks, expensive repairs- within minutes analyzes entire disclosure packet of hundreds of pages- works as another set of eyes that looks for things you should be watching out for, likewise of a companion - great to quickly learn of property conditions from the actual documents while on the go (given that you still follow your own due diligence process)- beta is freeCons:- still in beta- can’t share report directly unless copy and paste- only core documents (home inspection, pest, roof, tds, hazard, solar) are supported but not regional specific disclosures like hoa- estimates it provides aren’t accurate- not mobile friendly 

I am in Madison, but set up a search in Sheboygan and Port Washington as we have some family in that area who thought could keep an eye on things and the entry prices are less (in Dane County the median MLS 4-unit sale this year is $603k with 31 sales and for Sheboygan Co. this year only saw 4 sales of 4-units noted, but a median price of $252k . 

I've been eyeing a particular 3 unit multifamily in Union City for a while, to by as an investment. 

Now I not saying to not take the deal... just go in with eyes wide open. 

And yes, the entire argument around wholesaling everywhere is that most laws that are being pushed against it (In the states where they are) are because of practicing real estate sales without a license.I am an attorney, but I don't give legal advice on here and never said I was giving legal advice so not sure where you came up with that, but your attitude suggests you will be part of the 99 percent of bad wholesalers who are out of business quicker than an eye blink.You are asking a lot of questions, which is good, but you should be asking them of local wholesalers in your area, in person, so you can see what they do versus what everyone on the Internet tells you.

I've worked in property management and managed my own properties and HOA's definitely keep a close eye on that cap so the community is primarily owner-occupants.

Median home values are $170K range, Median rental income $1,275, YoY home value growth 7%, YoY rent growth 7.93%, Rent/price ratio .74%, Population 117K.I also have my eyes on Watertown, NY; Warren Robins, GA; Gulfport, MS; Knoxville, TN, Rocky Mount, NC & parts of OK.There are plenty of options out there --- hope you find something that fits your buy box!

I've had success with Eagle Eye Networks.Next consider if you want it monitored or just recorded.
