Tell them the property will be in better shape than with long-term tenants because it's getting cleaned 1-2x per week. 

Even if you were to fully automate, still need someone to reset the units and clean them up. 

We keep a very clean job site throughout the build, or at least as clean as these things can be. 

Minimum credit score 700 No evictions/ clean backgroundincome at least 2.5 times the rent.

There aren't many options that provide the full suite of services (cleaning, guest communication, etc) you need to operate successfully. 

I see this happening in Detroit  more city open space the question will be how will the residence that live there treat it burn down the houses and leave rubble for years upon years or clean it up and then keep it clean dont go dumping stolen stripped cars or their daily trash when they dont want to pay for garbage service  :)   

Of course, I will have thorough 3rd party inspections done on both, but they're really clean & solid compared to other properties I've looked at.

Buyers are waiving home inspections, termite inspections, surveys, and giving up reasonable asks like cleaning and pet treatment to be competitive.

@Jonathan Greene time to dedicate to RE is definitely a factor.

@Jonathan Greene, I enrolled in a real estate investment class and I have been attending webinars online and listening to real estate investing podcasts for newbies.
