Others say a visual inspection is sufficient, unless there's a reason to drill, and charge between $500 - $1K per inspection.

The storyline lost its original appeal.

My concern with a house is finding the balance between acquisition price and appeal in a beach town. 

I'm looking to buy my first investment property and this sounds very appealing. 

Doesn't need to be plush but clean, neat, orderly and visually appealing.

This level of ease is something many sellers find appealing, especially if they’re in a situation where they need to move quickly or don’t want the hassle of traditional selling.- Explain the Benefits of Our Strategy: Finally, I explain that by listing on the MLS as part of our exit strategy, we’re simply maximizing the exposure of the property to potential buyers.

The 2 year certifications require dust swab samples from multiple areas (windows, window sills, floors) of each room (not basements) and the exterior must also pass visual inspection. 

The affordable housing and solid rental potential in those Ohio cities sound really appealing.

As Patrick mentioned, I would be careful to be competing with the new builds and stick to more affordable price points or places with a large yard or no HOA that will appeal to a different group of people than the new builds will.

Thanks Hey Paul,It depends on who you are trying to appeal to.For example we did yard signs for rent to own properties we had and at the time (we were just starting out), we hand wrote "Rent-To-Own - Call ###-###-####" on them and they worked sufficiently.
