Drive around and called the realtor How did you finance this deal?

As i was driving through the neighborhood scoping the area out i noticed a new shiny fire department.

I actually think your company, Drive Home Capital, does have a good track record in the space.

From what I read in The Economist, these Sun Belt regions often see steady population growth which can drive healthy rent appreciation.

Class C transitioning to Class B: more renovated homes, higher income tenants and homeowners moving in, nice cafes, shops, restaurants, coffee shops opening up.An extreme example of Class C to B is in San Francisco - when I was a kid, what was not a safe neighborhood and had lower income people, is now in high demand and tech workers making $200,000+ are living there and people walking around at night going to restaurants and shop. 

Certain amenities can drive bookings (e.g. having a hot tub) but don't necessarily improve guest satisfaction.  

But again, dedicated crews drive reno costs down.If you can connect with a flipper in your area (quick out your local REIG) and ask to come along when they scope out a job, you will get more from one or two trips than from a dozen books. 

DealMachine is a powerful tool for real estate investors, especially for finding off-market deals through driving for dollars.

You'll be in the middle of the overall upper east side apartment market. 1 or 2 beds 1 or 2 baths in a nice and safe building.
