SEO is free, best possible quality leads, its always working even if you stop working, it is 100% hands off (if you do it right and are established) BUT... it takes time and no one anc promise you that you WILL rank #1.

@Logan Larochelle, I would reply with a human element first and then into the terms of the lease.  

In my opinion, setting specific goals and evaluating progress are critical elements in developing a profitable real estate investing firm!

These trends play a crucial role in determining property prices, influencing everything from the desirability of certain architectural styles to the demand for eco-friendly designs and specific lifestyle elements.

Unless all three of these elements are met, you will likely have to consider a non-agency lender.

including all the basic elements that drive value, e.g., - reduction in tax liability on rental income (from depreciation, interest rate payments, other related expenses)- reduction in personal income tax liability from interest rate payments (i.e., up to $750k mortgage)- savings on paying rent (i.e., the rent you are currently paying)If not, drop in your thoughts on which value drivers need to be included and I can pull a quick one together. 

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't invest the time to ACTUALLY understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

Currently facing an 8% APR, your consideration of future interest rates dropping to 6% in six months adds an element of unpredictability.

I came up with a list of about 60, this included friends, neighbors, customers (we are in construction and do a LOT of second or third homes for people) business associates etc.... and 'ranked them' from 1 (hot) to 5 (mostl likely not).

I can't find the screenshot, but at the last in-person Midwest Networking Summit, Neal Bawa had a poster of all the qualified opportunity zones in Chicago with data ranking them compared to national opportunity zones.
