For our clients, we separate repairs into catergories: 1) Health & Saftey - highest priority to avoid lawsuits2) Property Preservation - don't want a $500 water leak repair to become a $5k repair later3) Government Required - for city & S8 inspections4) Marketing Negative Impact - who wants to rent a "purple" house?

My markets are North ATL, Greenville, SC & Spartanburg, SC. 

How much money do I need , what licenses , where to look for off market deals?

This works if the long-term market rent received on an appraisal can support the DSCR and you are buying vacant.

Hi all - I am looking to expand my portfolio in LV and was wondering what people were buying in how the market is today.

But this has been going on for years where some pull out and others enter the market.

But recently I came to learn that deals that are outside of the MLS are better in making investments than the MLS ones.The thing is, I don't know where to begin to see of the off market deals.

Arranging schedule of various trades and balancing the good ones with the ones that are available.Permitting and inspection issues (should be a non-issue, but last house we had a new inspector that seemed like he had something to prove and nitpicked what I view as non-issues).Market swings impacting ARVs, or in the current market: are we going into a recession before the house can be completed?

It’s a market rate 2 bedroom 2.5 bath townhome in a community that’s a mix of market rate and work force homes.  

I concur with @John Underwood's logic and agree with @Kevin Lefeuvre that Airbnb's solution works better (at least in my market).
