Those numbers will vary by the extent that your units are retrofitted with these technologies, but the smart lock is the highest in the list of most desirable tech.

I competed a pre approval application and selected primary residence and got the approval for my desired amount. 

I desire to network with other cash buyers, very motivated sellers, and creative & aggressive real estate agents.

I think I will join a meeting or two, I don't have any experience in Multi Family yet but I do have a desire to get involved with that some day so I imagine I could learn a thing or two from the meetings.

Also, while I desire to do all I possibly can to retain the value and well being of my house, I can't afford to go crazy!

Definitely don't have the time/patience/desire to reproduce an IC site!

I will be posting a full account here once the issue comes to the conclusion desired.

From my perspective, if you are getting a property at a price of 17K that has a ARV of 79K, there must be a lot of work needed (and possibly other factors that make the property non-desirable at the moment).Although you can make a lot of money via fix and flip through problem-solving, I think you will need to disclose more information about the property (address, info on rehab cost, how are you are getting this ARV, etc) before you can get a good answer to your question.I would suggest connecting with a local realtor there for more help, or seek out someone on BP who is active from the area (even a property manager could help) to assist you with sorting this out.I have some experience with fix and flips in my past, and they are absolutely nothing to play with for the beginner unless you have a lot of cash set aside for the unexpected (and there will be unexpected costs) or some experience in a trade where you can offset cash for your labor.Good luck and happy hunting! 

If you're the latter, work with your agent to describe any special needs, priorities or desires you have for neighborhood and school.
