I am also a licensed real estate broker with Nottingham Realty Group and I have had a lot of success helping investors (both local and out-of-state) buy investment properties, repair them, and either lease them to quality tenants (BRRRR) or sell them as a flip (BRSR).

In the end, those numbers don't mean anything unless you are providing your guests a quality experience and are keeping reviews as high as possible.  

My desired strategy is buy and hold where I can get quality assets in B-C neighborhoods for 35-50x rent all day.

Quality of Posts?

The quality of life that you can provide yourself and your family will be far better.

The screen and small holes are minor and I would have no issue addressing.

You will need to have access to MLS for this step since you will need to see all the terms of the purchase of the properties (if there were seller concessions, etc.) and in order to see the condition and quality notes (C3, C4, Q4, Q3, etc)  So the closer the comparables are to your home in condition, square footage, year built, BR/Ba, ans date sold the better it is for your case.And just for a quick info point using comparables that were built around your build date are fine. 

I was completely upfront with the seller and disclosed what my plans were for the house and explained the screening process for possible tenants. 

We use cozy screening and don't really even need a SSN except if we were to evict and try to collect a judgement.Has anyone been successful in collecting a SSN number in court during the eviction/judgement process?

My property management style and lease are very strict, however I also provide high quality housing slightly below market rates.
