You will naturally find a bad apple but its my preferred lead generation source I use that is outside of handwritten note cards, direct mail and referrals.

It's apples to oranges comparing a comparable home to utilize as a rental in the same buying market. 

You work for Apple!?

Of course, there are good and bad apples in every profession.  

I really liked this article about Pittsburgh vying for Amazon's attention. https://www.nextpittsburgh.com/latest-news/amazon-become-one-pittsburghs-biggest-employers/With the fact that Uber, Google, Microsoft, Apple and Autodesk already have strongholds here, thanks in part to Carnegie Mellon University's AI developments, I can see our city welcoming Amazon's 2nd HQ.

The only way it will be an apples-to-apples (or bacon-to-bacon, whatever you shop) comparison is if you have an absolutely identical grocery shopping list week after week.

First, lets make sure we are talking apples and apples.

Since it looks simply at the purchase price / value & gross yearly rents its easy to compare apples to apples and evaluate the quality of one investment compared to another, without different loan options and different cash outlays skewing the numbers too much.PS: I'll second what others have said - when executed right, BRRRR is amazing :)

Quote from @Jevon Shaw: There's an iOS app called The Regrid Property app.

Similiar to those Apple REITS.
