Would welcome your thoughts about these markets (how landlord friendly, cash flow vs. appreciation, tenant pool and quality, neighborhoods to consider/avoid, etc.).

If you are just buying a raw piece of property but not going all the way through the entitlement process it is tougher to sell (not impossible but limits your buyer pool). 

Does it increase my applicant pool and interest from people who are more likely to pay on time and have steady occupancy?  

He wanted $60K more for the deal and I was firm with my offer due to the fact that it was a 3/2 but was converted to a 2/2 so we had to reconfigure the floorplan to have a better flow and bring it up to date and take advantage of the natural lighting and the pool.

Note that there is a difference between offering shares (or units) or investors once a company is up and running, and pooling investors together to found an organization.Non-accredited investors can together form a partnership or LLP or LLC.

I bet the bank will regulate the appraisal (since this is a point of extreme liability for them they typically use an appraisal clearing house service that randomizes the selection of the appraisal from a certain pool of appraisers, so the lender needs/wants to use that clearinghouse service). 

Indoor pool.   

In that instance I unnecessarily cut down my tenant pool. 

I use it as a short-term fund pool to buy distressed properties and then refinance them into longer-term notes after stabilizing them.
