Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

Here's a tip that I've learned being in this business for over 40 years.

Forgive me if im being a bit forward: would you be willing to give some sort of tips/guidance of the process ypu went through from start to finish?

These are all great tips and advice, especially for someone like me who is thinking about becoming a real estate investor.As a newbie, I would say that there are tons of information, and some are conflicting at best.

As others have stated, your fit & finish goals should be guided by whether you plan to:1) Rent: tenants don't always take care of a property, so you want to use lower-grade materials and workmanship.2) Flip: higher quality on workmanship and materials is usually required.Regardless, you always want to "Maintain to the Neighborhood".

Also, SAAS platforms are supposed to include support and service (that's the last S), but the quality varies greatly from company to company. 

PRO TIP: Some counties will work with you as the new "owner" on code violations.

Pro tip--make sure your exhaust fan in the bathroom is vented to the atmosphere--meaning out to the outside.....go out the roof or out the side of the unit or secured to an opening in a soffit vent grille off the house. 

Based on the quality of this particular home, my rent estimate may be low.Note: you have to consider other factors.

One capex issue or tenant turnover is going to eat up years of "cashflow".I would advise you to work on getting a smaller number of high quality units rather than scaling to 20.
