Here are a few things to check:Listing Quality – Are the photos high quality?

Quote from @Ben Trageser: Highly recommend Maven Cost Seg!

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Keep in mind, it would be in your best interest to go for as high as 4 units on each purchase to maximize your door count. 

Not to mention sky-high drama factor.

Heres a general breakdown:1960s: ~5 -“7%1970s: ~7 - 11% (rising due to inflation)1980s: ~10 - 18% (peaking at 18-19% in 1981-1982 due to high inflation)1990s: ~7 - 10% (gradual decline)2000s: ~5 - 7% (lower due to economic stability)2010s: ~3 - 5% (record lows after the 2008 financial crisis)2020s: ~2.7 - 7.8% (historically low in 2021, then rising in 2022-2023 due to Fed rate hikes)Long-Term AverageOver the past 50 - 60 years, the average mortgage rate has been around 7 - 8%In short and IMO, due to fiat system.

Coffered ceilings, low corner additions etc.Anyone can slap lipstick on a pig, looking for high value add in high demand markets is where the $ is.

Short-term rentals (STRs) are highly regulated, particularly downtown, so areas like Mount Pleasant, James Island, and North Charleston may offer more flexibility.

I have 3 per property and find that to be the best way for me to take advantage of their high APY and also keep things super organized.

Investment Criteria:• “Core” strategy – High-quality properties with minimal renovations or maintenance issues• Stable tenants & cash flow – Long-term leases, steady occupancy• Commercial preference (?)
