First, Are you licensed and insured to manage other people's properties?

No need to hit a grand slam on your first deal.

Stuart - we do not identity check the people who are signing up to post to the forums.

I think others have given you great advice.For most people I say go to some meetup groups for a year. 

Quote from @Elias Halvorson: Aloha Diandre, You will get 100 people responding on here responding they can do it and their company focuses on it.

Hopefully the permitting people are nice and will offer some guidance.  

Going over maps of known repairs with contractors showed that there were a few houses where people tried to have piers installed and ran out of money before hitting stable soil, others in the hyper local area did have to go to 100+ ft.  

I think it's going to be location specific for sure; where I am very few people hang out in the house all day long as they are usually busy hitting the parks and attractions. 

It is pretty easy to keep it fully occupied but it does mean I turn away a ton of people who want a lease that doesn't quite fit my requirements. 

This is basically what I made for myself:So every morning I get a report of everything new that hits the market in LA/Ventura, and I can just click the google links, check it out on RedFin/Zillow, and if it seems promising, fully underwrite it (using tools and/or manually), then offer on it.Don't try and come up with an auto-offer estimate, you can't tell the visual quality of the home or how much the construction will be, etc, stick to estimating values of renovated and distressed property in your tools, make it easy to fill those comps/value metrics into an underwriting model/proforma, and let the end users tweak numbers/select comps/etc so they feel confident in everything.
