When I am looking to buy properties, I have to walk through personally to not only see the aesthetics but also the systems and layout which are hard to evaluate from pictures.

I think I'm a bit of an oddity in that I've been researching personal finance and real estate for years (still nowhere near an expert), but have never taken the step to reach out on forums to like-minded peers.

@Dav Pohote The last property I sold had 1 person make an offer at the list price.

(e) While a person may examine and consider a criminal background check, credit history, or rental history in reviewing an application for rental housing, the person shall review and consider additional history in reviewing an application for rental housing, the person shall review and consider additional information provided by the rental applicant, including, but not limited to, personal references, recency and status of any evictions, and any actions taken by the rental applicant to resolve past evictions, credit challenges, or alleged damages, the recency and severity of any convictions, the violent or sexual nature of any prior convictions, the facts or circumstances surrounding criminal conduct, the age of the applicant at the time of the conduct, the age or vulnerability of the victim of the conduct, evidence that the applicant has maintained a good tenant history in the intervening time, and evidence of rehabilitation efforts, consistent with state and federal law, including, but not limited to, fair housing laws.

Check out the Tahoe Reno area we find some solid cash flow properties with all the signs of appreciation. 

After a solid 6 month intensive full rehab and pulling all the cash invested out I like to tell my wife 'Hey look at all the free passive income we have!'

She is the least intimidating person ever. 

Same thing with a potential MTR tenant who wants to tour the house in person first. 

They have a celebrity connection that they never stop talking aboutIn most cases, the celebrity does not make a personal appearance at the events, and their involvement is often very minimal.

I definitely wouldn't go high end, but I would pay a bit more for solid cabinets.
