I believe I paid about $500/each for plumbing, mechanical, and electric permits.

WM Phoenix Open, Barrett Jackson Auto Show, horse shows, Giants spring training (SF $$$ coming to town), Dbacks/Rockies spring training, world class casinos, and more golf courses than you could  play in a month.

This may seem like a simple thing and its not related to metrics but from a mechanical standpoint I like to find properties with electric baseboard heat. 

I would like to walk through the property with a contractor in order to (1) get an estimate on rehab/repairs; and (2) inspect the structural, mechanical, electric, plumbing, etc aspects of the house in order to ensure everything is working properly.After speaking with multiple contractors, it seems like many of them can only do one type of inspection (rehab or structural), but not both.

I can also set you up on auto hotsheets to keep an eye on the market and get auto emails sent out of new listings that meet your criteria. 

There is a book called Landlording on Auto Pilot by Mike Butler that has a lot of good information and ways to legally observe Fair Housing laws but get the people in you want and keep out those your don't. 

My first property met the 1% rule with good mechanicals.

@Brandon Sturgill yes, I agree - each area (and street) is unique, and there's no value in mechanically applying a price-to-rent ratio or 1% rule without considering broader factors. 

JJ:  We use Google Sheets as the primary data storage mechanism for our MHP data and enter qualified leads in Podio.What automations have you created for building your database? 

But I use OwnerRez for $20 a month and it gives me fantastic automated messaging, auto-responders, auto rental contracts, combined booking calendar sync, and much more.
