You also need a mirror or medicine cabinet, faucet, drain, p-trap, supply lines, new shutoff valves and who knows what other fittings.

The deal breaker is always an artificially high ARV.

That means importing doctors and nurses from the first world who are privileged enough to study medicine in the United States or western Europe and come with supplies to effectively keep themselves safe from contamination (you know, the supplies that can't even get there in the first place because people keep closing borders and limiting flights).

And the things realtors (brokerages) tell their potential clients to "get more new listings," aren't going to MOVE inventory, once the market is topping over the current 'S' curve of the (artificially reinflated) bubble.

The other point is that those giving details is much like a doctor giving a prescription and if the patient takes the medicine the wrong way or it's the wrong medicine the results can change that persons life or even end it.

I work at Yale, so I've been able to build a fairly steady stream of renters in New Haven from the professional schools (Medicine, Law) grad schools (Management, Drama, Divinty) and hospitals related to the University. 

The San Mateo, CA area has always had a lot of growth with companies like Visa (I hear they are planning to go public), Fisher Investments, Templeton Investments and Gilead Sciences (a biotech company that has licensed some AIDS medicines) situated in this area.

Give $ for food/medicine to developing countries.

Use an artificial cap of 7-8% and a 1.25 DSCR and take the lower of the two on a 65-75% lever.
