Your biggest variable is going to be prop tax, and it changes from street to street. 

The CRM is awesome for pinpointing and keeping track of random houses you find that you make want to look into later.The biggest Con seems to be that the software can be very clunky and almost feels like it is in beta development at all times.Which company do you like for bulk "Street View" postcards? 

However, one of my biggest concerns when fixing homes is knowing when to use permits.

Would it be worth it to invest in a less expensive unit just outside of the strip or is having a place within walking distance the biggest appeal?

I've been seeing constant ads for Baselane, which I'm guessing is newer by the bonus incentives being offered and the amount of advertising.

I knew that most charities spend the biggest part of the donations on overhead and marketing and salaries of the top admin person/personal.

Those are going to be my biggest questions when looking for something like this on or off the market.

And the self-showings, Zillow just did the biggest beta test of this, and it failed epically. unless loosing tens of millions is the goal, if that's the goal than they hit it out of the park. 

So what's the incentive of the buyer to spend $200k+ cash just to break even on a property that is in a market with limited to no chance of appreciation?

When you couple this with the appreciation of buying in a growing markets, and the Cashflow day one of a property bought with great incentives.
