Sometimes I worry that these podcasts can become outdated with their suggestions when you get into the older ones. 

Also you said you're pretty handy so if you find a place with an outdated kitchen/bathroom you could DIY most of it to renovate it cheaply and raise rents that way.

Popcorn ceilings are outdated, so this is a good move to remove.  

Sorry, I hope I'm not being too redundant, I have read other threads but a lot of them were  old and outdated.

I would buy it outdated, add value either square footage or upgrade it, and sell it for a higher price. 

Dont get me wrong, no houses are flying off the market in ANY price range, but realistically the people willing to live in 50-70k houses are generally lower income, older neighborhoods, outdated areas, older schools, and have worse credit and not as much money down, = IMO harder to sell.the $100-250k price range in most areas of texas can get you nicer older neighborhoods and newer neighborhoods, bigger houses, 2 bathrooms, stuff not often seen at the lower price point.

I collect most rents by ACH, so some fairly specific rules to follow for that.2) Admin Schedule document, showing weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual activities.3) Master spreadsheet, showing every tenant move-in and move-out date or rent change date, and balance of deposit funds on account by tenant, and monthly rent received.

Therefore, I am stuck with purchasing out-dated properties that are just a little under market value.Another observation, there are 7 or 8 other SFH rentals within a 2 block radius of my property.

I like houses with good bones and nice floor-plans, but outdated paint, fixtures, appliances, cabinets, etc. 

Since Capterra's data is provided by each vendor, it also appears it may be outdated over time as well.
