Lots of time involved and educating the seller why to do this for you..  95% of sellers if they ask their attorney for advice will be given advice do not do this.

I'm looking to categorize my buyers and blast out a text message to specific groups whenever I get a property that fits their criteria.I'm sure services like this exist out there but I'm looking for the most cost effective one and I'd rather hear the best from you guys rather than from the salesman pitching their product.Does anyone use a platform like this and how does it perform for you?

Are there specific factors you look for in an area to make sure it’s a good fit for this type of rental setup?

I designed a little U-shaped kitchen to fit right in the space.

My point is this, I am actively involved/advising this investor, providing local vendors contacts (handyperson, surveyor, painters, etc) and I "don't wait for them to call me", I call them weekly. 

There is no seasoning requirement involved since the property isn't a short sale and it isn't someone buying REO from a bank with a seasoning requirement.

Also, coming from running a business just think of RE as a business (which it is), the numbers have to work and your investments need to fit into the big picture.

This issue, if caught early, is probably fixable with out insurance involvement because the deductible might be more than the repair cost.  

The value added should be significantly greater than the cost of the effort to compensate for the effort involved and the risk.
