Maybe some roll out beds stuffed in a closet somewhere or 1-2 sleeper sofas would improve the visual appeal on STR rental sites. 

These apps have provided us with not only a larger pool of potential renters but quality renters as well.Now we are finding Facebook Marketplace has begun to be a go to for people looking for rentals.

If your resources are limited and holding a flip or 2 is going to be a stressful problem then the quality of your deals needs to be better.If you have deep pockets then you can go slightly skinnier and no problem if it takes a while to sell.

Im a visual learner, so while reading and understanding the basics is goods start, I appreciate reading how it goes from start (finding the deal) to finish (shake hands, get check) so that I can invision that for myself!

Also, the house is located in-between a brand-new, very nice apartment complex on one side, a just completed expansion of a nice assisted living facility on the other side and quality brick townhouses behind it.

Not because the homes are lower quality, they are just less expensive. 

The carrier also has the requirement to replace "with like kind or quality."  

So you want to visually lower it.  

We do not follow the rules on this website (1%, 2% or 50%) but buy higher quality of houses and keep tight control of our costs.

I will be actually heading over to Lincolnton today to pick up my lawn mower from a shop over that way so I would be happy to drive by the house and see if it doesn't have any other undesirable qualities that we can not see.
