Focusing solely on numbers often leads to the purchase of low-quality properties.

Forget the course and put that money on a quality vacation short-term rental.  

One thing I’ve always done is focus on the 75th percentile of the rent estimates, as my properties tend to fall into that range (very nice, but small with no amenities).While I think there will always be some manual research involved, the current platforms lack key functionality that could be easily implemented with the available market data and technology.1.Quality Metrics:•Filter comps to match the quality of your rentals.

Similarly, quality dividend-paying companies often retain some earnings to reinvest in their business, increasing the company's (and your) value over time.

I just wonder about the quality of the new construction itself and the quality of contractors being used.   

I am invested in a small multi family in TX and the management was not able to fill the property and do repairs and the income has dwindled badly.

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

@Stefan Ikner, you are correct on the credit repair. 

That's where good people live, and good people make good tenants.But before you put money down on a house, I would find a quality property manager.

What's the quality of the furniture included?
