One of the reasons I asked the question is that it seems strange to me that a property management wouldn’t take anything upfront if they inherited a house that wasn’t ready for rent .Our property management also does the cleaning ( deep clean over 4 days was $1000 but they had to deal with some nasty pet hair , fleas etc)and that included some cover up paint etc .One lesson learned here is every contract with owner : property management varied greatly it seems from what is needed .But moving forward - I feel that $500 a month on a $2100 a month property is too high once it’s rented - unless endless problems persist of course ..thanks for your insight!

Collateral is valued using certified appraisers as opposed to "drive by" AVM values that the PPR fund relies on.I could go on. 

Drive around in the parts of town that you want to invest in and see if there are any bandit signs.

More competition > more offers > more bidding wars driving higher prices. 

A standalone ADU is almost always going to cost more than doing an addition, so the value added or cash flow increases will have to justify each.I work with a team of investors who will buy SFR homes then build a new ADU on the lot and add a separate drive way and meters for utilities in North Texas. 

Most guests are willing to provide feedback, especially given the upfront touches/relationship we try and drive initially. 

Even if the numbers look good, you will get tons of competition that eventually will drive the price off your excel sheets.

Typically they already have a blueprint that they can readily see from their parents examples, but the motivation and drive is not there.
