Flew out to local market, met Broker and Property Mgt firm, worked with them to identify the right project.

From there identifying one or two areas that would make sense for you to invest in geographically.

Here are my recommendations when screening a GC: 1) How long have they had their license, minimum 5 years; 2) check their work - if they only do kitchens and bathrooms (although important) they don't have the well rounded experience for a total rehab or addition; 3) make sure they are insured/bonded, this is actually to protect you - not them; 4) stage the work along with a payment schedule, don't be pressured into advanced payments except for materials; 5) identify all tile, carpet, paint, fixtures and appliances by SKU# and/or model number in advance - this keeps them from putting-in cheaper, inferior product; 6) along with item 5, avoid MDF - especially in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, exterior door and window trim; 7) lastly, after qualifying the GC, get at least 3-quotes. 

This report does not provide a full credit report but identifies if the candidate meets my stated qualifications for FICO score.

If you took the time to send the photo to identify I may think your serious and take the time to reply.

We are in the process of identifying a reliable one that caters to our target tenants as we want to provide a quality, comfortable, clean, and convenient apartment that’s going to be selectively filled.

While computer-generated comparisons can be decent when all properties are in similar condition, that is going to become less true as distressed sales become a larger share of total sales.And it's not easy to identify distressed sales; they're not always foreclosures or short sales.

@Eva Holland - I can help you identify a great PM unique to your situation -- PM me.

That way they get a good sense of where you stand so you're not at the starting point when you've identified a property. 

This seemed like the best way to identify that.
