Another way to stand out is to include outstanding drone footage with the photography. 

For example, adding square footage to existing units would be difficult sell to most hard money lenders.

What makes it sweeter is that I purchased the units for 1/3 to 1/2 of what I would have paid for stick built houses of the same square footage.

My total cost after renovation will be on par with what I was about to purchase the “suspect” property for, with more rooms and more square footage Sometimes walking away is the best thing.

This year's construction deliveries contrast sharply with the limited square footage planned for delivery in 2024.

Criteria might include absolute cash flow in dollars; cash-on-cash return; equity captured in dollar or percentage terms; minimum property age; maximum rehab; cosmetic rehab only or some majors ok; location; square footage requirements; configuration 3/2/2, or 3/1/2, or 3/1/0 or etc...

Then you figure the value of new construction per sq. footage of the house to know what it would cost you to build the same.

Similar potential rent and asking price and square footage.

I’ve found some potential deals that were a tad out of my investment radius but that could have worked because they needed rehabbing so I could have added value there…you can search for houses on the mls that have hidden value add opportunities such as a property that has ways to add extra square footage or that needs re habbing.

I have also had properties that had the square footage wrong.
