I'm hoping that is one of the big things that helps my future rehabs stand out from the crowd.  

The homes that do well stand out against the competition. 

So i'm going to have to do a minor rehab just to get it rentable to respectable people so my thinking is does it make since to do a little more to make it really stand out? 

Low debt; long  term fixed rates; and conservative to the point of pessimism assumptions on attributes like vacancies and price increases will all be very important factors!

Cleveland has lower entry point but it's been longer since I've lived there and seems to be less of a growing marketLook out-of-state at various other markets that stand out for their combo of growth potential and low price-to-rent (e.g.

The more complex things get compared to that "baseline," the more appealing it likely is (this is probabilities game) to work with someone that isn't forced to take the table scraps from a marketing department, because they're able to bring it in the door with things such as their competence, or other attributes/deliverables.A company I once worked for was recently purchased by a big discount real estate brokerage, I stay in touch with my old colleagues (there's no bad blood or anything).

It may depend on the individual's personal attributes, their income streams, location, timing, luck, and a host of other variables.
