If the answer to any of these questions is no, not consistently or not well,  you should start by addressing  these operational issues in your business.

Everything revolves around consistently receiving rent and having the ability to increase rents faster than inflation.

Take for instance my B+ located quadraplex consisting of 2 Bedroom units in Philadelphia that rent for just shy of $3,000/m and compare my building to the nearly identical quadraplex building in a C location in Philadelphia were the rents are $1,200/m. 

Remember, it's consistent base hits that win the game! 

We use PriceLabs but set it at a consistent rental rate and same on FF.

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

An insurance broker explained this to me in the past as the law of  large numbers which suggests if a a carrier has significant enough exposure in a market the probability of claims arising will be more consistent with probabilities calculated in their underwriting than a when a smaller sample size were to exist.

You should definitely be consistently asking for reviews from happy customers.

@Nathan Gesner Not trying to pick a fight here…you’ve posted 26,000 times I don’t care to go back through your posts to find one in 2023 that’s consistent with what we both agree on….that 100% anonymity is not achievable.
