I am referring to solutions like Alexa and Google home along with the home control lighting and other controls aling with other home health technology like GrandCare to assist seniors to Age In Place.

Your idea of making this fixer into a multi-unit structure needs to be thought through a bit more, especially in light of your local building/zoning regulations. 

And she thinks she's entitled to a return of all deposit funds.I don't throw the term "moron" around lightly...but what a moron.

In the podcast Jered Sturm, Brandon Turner, and Dave Meyer talk about different value add strategies like doing a rub (sub metering water), increasing energy efficiency with light bulbs, and renting out washers and dryers to the tenants.While I was going to Southern Utah University to get my Bachelor's in Engineering and Technology I stayed in several different apartments and got to see both the good and the bad of many apartments.

@Kyle GlasgowI agree with @Tchaka Owen make sure the property is presented in the best light possible.

Definitely tread gently/lightly and strategically for all the wise considerations here2.)

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

I know software like this is only designed to do a light scan across markets before diving deeper yourself, but I'm starting to wonder if it's even that helpful as a first step. 

You will have some fixed costs (who is paying landscaping, whether or not the property is occupied), who is covering the "house meter" for common area lights and electric, or unit utilities when vacant (unless you want to show a unit with no lights on).  

My wife and I have dreams of moving and investing in real estate in Portugal and wonder if any of you fine folks may be in Portugal to help relay some information about the market and potentially shed some light on the “Golden Visa” I keep reading about.
