I'm only able to download the iPhone version on my iPad, which is okay except it only allows me to view in Portrait format vs.

Before you get roasted investing out of area using the 1% rule, please allow me to share my 2 cents to give you an apples to apples comparison:Say $700/mo/unit for a 4plex asking $280k.

If I were doing it, I would grade a property in several areas, 0 to 4...(0 is best, 4 is worst)Assign a factor to each of them based upon the time commitment relative to the category, then multiple each score by the factor, add all the scores together, and now you have an objective number to allow you to compare apples to apples. neighborhood qualityschool qualitylikely tenant qualityage of propertyLikelihood of required maintenance distance from your house/office or the bulk of the other propertiesanything else you can think of

@Mike Dymski  OK apartments are totally different I am talking SFR's .. managing SFR vs apartments is apples to Iceberg lettuce..my clients and or friends that have bigger units here in PDX enjoy completely different level of service first off.. they have what I call true professional managers IE company with 6 thousand doors in 3 or 4 states.

To quickly sift and compare apples to apples, the minimum a property gross to purchase price ratio needs to be 1.67% in markets I underwrite in.So for a 500K house, gross rent would need to hit at least $5000x1.67%, or $8,333 gross.Generally I see STR expenses to be between 35-40% of gross if you have management in place, cleaning revenue, maintenance, utilities, etc.

You didn't share much on that, so this is a simple apples to apples comparison just for investment purposes.

Very krude estimate made on an iPhone at 2am going off pics and taking no measurements.

Numbers in iPad/iPhone has financial templates, but not accounting.

I own about 20 properties all around the 50k price range. but all markets are different and things need to be apples to apples. 

Now, if I had left the bad apples in place it would certainly have been a headache.
