Liberal/socialist policies that favor renters over LandlordsIncreasing taxes and government regulationProperty prices make cash flowing difficultLow-quality rentersOver-crowdingOne natural disaster can shut down the entire stateJust to name a few examples.

Work included fully renovating the kitchen, new flooring, new door hardware, new lighting, new plumbing fixtures, new mechanicals, refinished cabinets, and fresh paint.

That background, combined with my own natural curiosity, has taught me how to identify where both municipal and private investment trends are heading in the neighborhoods I know about. 

As an example, I am in Charlotte and we use a light rail system.

However, I buy multifamily apartments for cash flow, not for natural market appreciation. 

Naturally, my first thought was to tackle a business plan in relstion to flipping and then revisit it and make revisions where necessary.

So naturally I’m very disappointed not to be able too use this anymore.I am curious as to what services everyone will be using to still adequately screen tenants without adding a lot of time and cost to the process?  

Is it still possible to find something I can lightly renovate (countertops, new appliances, paint, redo a bathroom) and make some money or are all of those deals gone?

They look just like glass till you pick them and feel how light they are compared to glass.

I'm curious to see if anyone else has done this and can share their experience or can shed some light on the topic.
