Our stays are aimed at being above the market in order to capture it.

Also, in general, would an appraiser likely aim to provide favorable results to keep you as a repeat customer?

Whatever you use to screen your applicants, I would make sure they have these counter measures in place to weed that stuff out.

You will learn a lot by doing this.They are probably going to take measurements for flooring and drywall, count any doors that need replaced, look at what appliances need replaced, outlets, fixtures, countertops, etc.

Your Core 4 Real Estate team will play a very important role in your success.As for other markets to check out, it really comes down to what you're aiming for. 

I aim to connect with fellow investors and agents to impart my insights and continue learning from the collective wisdom here.I am looking forward to engaging in conversations and gaining more knowledge.ThanksAhmed

I still prefer long-term for consistency and ease of management.If you're aiming for the substantial traveling nurses market, you could consider house-hacking or an ADU because traveling nurses are rarely around in the day and probably wouldn't care for many amenities.

From there you'll need to determine Debt Service (if it's a financed deal) and Capital Expenses, to then calculate Cash Flow.The Cash-on-Cash Return (CoCR) will just be Cash Flow divided by the All-In Investment (Purchase Price + Renovations + Closing Costs + Wholesale Fee).If you're wholesaling these deals, I recommend you aim to offer your buyers a Cash Flow of no less than $250/mo and a CoCR of 10% or higher.

Generally I think planning for 20% vacancy when starting out is smart as it can take some time to get traction on your property and aiming for 1.5 to 2 times the LTR rate. 

If they weren't so cheap and convenient to buy off the shelf (in case I measure or plan wrong) I would never buy them.
