All depends on the operator, the segment there playing in. 

Great job on the due diligence or Operational process you have going.  

100% agree either make it operable or get a fridge with no dispenser. 

Needs an owner-operator to manage. 

On the business management side, I've invested roughly $10k into the systems for financial and operations through courses and consultants.A great Facebook group I'd recommend Remodelers Community -- I know it says remodelers but this group has a resource called the "remodelers vault" where members have pitched in their resources like contracts, cash flow trackers, QC checklists and more that are invaluable starting out as a residential GCBest of luck, you got this

It blows my mind that you can actually start and operate a legitimate business in the US without telling the government (not the public) the name and address of the owner.

The issue I have seen with these types of properties is they could have two valuations - the value of the real estate which the structures will have little value and you have the land the other is as an operating business just like a bed and breakfast would have - real estate has value but it operates a business now you mention 12k / month but if someone also has to manage the property what is that worth and what would someone pay to manage a property like this?

I personally dont do any of that.. every market / or most will have an active fix and flip sector or buy and hold sector the important thing to me is the operator full stop.. great operator will do well in any market and all the national data simply is noise at least at my level. ( loaning our own money and JV deals with our own money)  we dont broker or anything like that.

(Gas are more expensive to buy, but cheaper to operate.).

I would do what you are doing here on a bigger scale - social media, local markets she operates in Facebook groups, etc.
