I am not looking for a huge effort to be expended in determining the rehab budget.

It seems risky to sink money into a mortgage before testing the markets and trying it a few times first, especially when I don't have much expendable investment money to begin with.3.Mashvisor is giving often “total rent” / revenue numbers as like $2000-$3000 a month on many even top rated properties.

If not, then I highly recommend planning your personal expenses a month in advance, refuse to exceed the expending limits unless absolutely nessisaryily, and then continue to build your downpayment fund. 

You just don't have to expend any of the moneys for several years.

If the property to be insured is vacant land, and the owner intends to erect improvements thereon in the immediate future, the owner's policy may be written for the value or purchase price of the land and the improvements to be erected thereon; but, the following note must be inserted at the end of Schedule B of the policy:"Note: It is agreed between the Company and the insured that, in the event of a loss hereunder, the liability of the Company shall be limited to the present value of said land as now improved, but shall automatically increase by the amount expended for improvements placed thereon in good faith, and without actual notice of adverse claim, but in no event shall exceed the amount of this policy, to-wit, $_____ (here insert amount shown in the clause of the policy.)"

I didn't notice anyone talking about the additional effort you will have to expend to realize those higher 'returns'.

Google new economic development deals that’s been approved but still under construction..Expend you search alongside major highway like 85,75 and I20.

Expendable, replaceable, Beat down and misinformed.

When one is on title, this can not happen and the title company protects your interest BEFORE there's a problem, thus saving your already expended time, energy and $$$. 

If it is critical then you may need to expend some money to help relocate the tenants in time, if it is less critical maybe you can get some additional time for the tenant to move.
