Hard to say without live examples.It can be exhausting running numbers all day, comparing real time rental comps to your purchase price and expenses, then getting outbid lol.

Cities can have exhaustive municipal codes, with little-to-no enforcement.

FICOThe above list isn't exhaustive, but does give you an idea of key data points that most HMLs are looking at.Hope this helps!

We learned that doing a live-in renovation can be exhausting, but worth it in the end.

@Justin Husband By no means exhaustive, just a few thoughts....some pros to selling: -since the property appears to have transferred at death, you may benefit from a stepped up tax basis if you sell (consult tax expert), -strong sellers market now- hard to find good builders now in many places- avoidance of building and renting headaches- some pros to fix and flip:Can be satisfying to see the house turn around, although not worth the headaches for manyMaybe better profit if you do it right and get the profit a flipper might make too Some pros to fix and rent:As previous poster noted, if it cash flows well you have long term cash flow.

I hope you figure out how to, but you might get exhausted trying to perfect that approach! 

I'm concerned if I have to meet with sellers to often it may be too much.Also, if I can generate a list locally of 1-2 thousand addresses, how long before I exhaust that list?  

Paint and prime cabinets inside and outReplace cabinet hardwareReplace existing vanity tops and replace with granite top, new sink and sink fixturesReplumb sink & sink fixture supply lines and drains if necessaryInstall new door hardwareInstall new doorInstall new toilet and toilet seatRefinish (not just spray) existing tub to whiteRetain existing wall mirrorReplace existing ceiling light and exhaust fan.

This protection is designed to kick in when the liability on these other policies has been exhausted.

The exhaust vent goes up, then downward and into the patched wall.
