The condition of the unit is one factor in determining the effort, but the tenant can be a larger factor.  

Do you recommend combing through the list to find properties that meet my interests such as: Year built, garages, single story, how the home looks as far as condition, then mailing those targeted people?

Zip codes often span school districts and city linesIdeally you want a house in the same area (say 1/4 mile), built around the same time, similar size and condition, in the same school district and city.  

Quick look through however doesn't address this covid market conditions.

I bought the property in that condition, but really thought we’d be doing the renovations last fall, so we are way behind my ideal timeline anyway.

I talk to family members all the time that day it's horrible condition when really it's not that bad. 

Highly recommended for the 88-year-old renter.I also schedule an inspection within one week of ownership so I can document condition with photos, answer questions for the tenant, and identify any maintenance issues.

It already had a good tenant in place and outside of some minor fixes, was in pretty good condition.

There is very few conditions when one doesn’t have to be provided and this isn’t one, FYI.

If you're okay with paying higher prices you'll get opportunities in better areas in better conditions.
