The dog crap part didn’t make a difference to me as the unit is covered in tile floors and I plan on kicking everyone out so I can hand pick my renters.

Visual/External improvement need to happen right away to increase the appeal of the property and attract higher quality renters: Landscaping, Power/pressure washing the exterior.

I've outlined all of the chapters and now am expanding each section with  information from external sources like the BP podcasts/blogs/other books, etc. 

Just processing this externally, bear with me.An extra $165/month is not going to move the needle in a significant way for me.

I'm just concerned that since I will be living in the building would it be better for me to hand pick the tenants or just go along with tenants that already live there.

We have also been paid by Chase QuickPay (receiver does not need a Chase account), and I'm sure many other big banks out there have similar programs to send money to external clients.

A bank pays me $50 to do an external BPO and $100 to do an internal BPO (Internal meaning I enter the property, External I just view it from street).I gladly pull comps for free for someone I have an existing relationship with, but why would I do that for a total stranger that is not going to do any sort of business with me?

I looked at the listing on the MLS and quickly browsed comps; this seems expensive for Del Paso Heights considering the square footage and external condition of the property.  

@Darren Budahn  of course I am the exception.. and to be fair I will only do this with a very hand picked group of folks like I have been doing for years.. this is the first time I have advertised for it ever.. however I have capacity to expand so I thought I would offer it on BP.my comments were general in nature.. there are always going to be private folks and exceptions..

These are commonly referred to as C classOrder a third-party property inspectionMake sure the property has been rehabbed to turnkey quality that will maximize your cash flow (roof and HVAC updated, ceramic tile it kitchen and bath, vinyl plank hardwood in high traffics areas, durable carpet installed in bedrooms, external fences and buildings addressed during the rehab, supply hoses replaced under the sinks, etc) otherwise your cash flow will go to maintenanceBe skeptical of the one-year tenant warranty, that just means the turnkey provider is making a abnormally large profit who uses gimmick marketing to secure investorsVerify rent range through other property managers, Craig's list and ZillowAsk if permits were pulled during the rehabIf a tenant is in place, ask to see the tenant fileRemember, you can fix the house, you can fix the tenant, you can fix the property manager, but you can't fix the area.
