There doesn't seem to be a lot of MTRs (rooms and entire units) in the area just based on initial searches on Airbnb and Redfin, but I understand this isn't the only indicator of demand.

Quartz makes sense for a high end unit/ fancy neighborhood where you can and will attract tenants willing to pay more for them.Repainting is often a no brainer, but could be based on the current conditions as to whether or it is needed.I agree with Melanie on researching the washer/dryer comps. 

If they want to landscape HOA owned land, they (ie HOA $$) need to pay for it, not you.

I use a lot of different cards based on the best categories on my spending for cash back/miles, but one under the radar for rental investors that gives 5% cash back on up to $2,000 spending per quarter on utilities category when chosen is the US bank cash+ card.I max out on utilities spending with the card every quarter.

Once you begin to generate leads that fit their recent purchases/want to buy, run the numbers based on the ARV after repair value for after when they develop/fix n flip and subtract cost of build/repair, your assignment fee, and the original cost of the contract.

It has pockets that are still growing giving you opportunity to land some great deals, while already having some great neighborhoods, some very desirable.

We would GREATLY appreciate feedback from experienced investors on how best to start out on our REI journey.Ok Gabe, let's reverse engineer this a bit to get to a fact-based answer vs opinion or feelings. 

Also looked for Florida's market (we did some land entitlement project in the past over there).If you also have good direct lender for foreigners I would appreciate the referral.

May or may not be good for the tenant base.

@Steve Ford the points is usually based on your credit and your downpayment.
