I'm a 2x house hacker here in LA (a case study in the BP book The House Hacking Strategy) and an out of state investor.

I would like to do some research on other rental properties before I set my priceComputer algorithms are good for studying a general market, maybe even a neighborhood, but they are terrible for evaluating a specific rental.

Then add any other codes required where you want to build and study those as well.

Studying the local market makes a lot of sense.

Study the market.

Squatters are a real problem nationally and a study found that they target not only vacant properties but those advertised for rent or sale that offer 'immediate occupancy.' 

I noticed that the appraisal fee is higher than a typical 1 to 4 unit residential property, and they quoted and Environmental Study fee, which I have never heard of on a 1 to 4 unit residential property.

Use Automated Follow-Ups to Build RelationshipsMost deals aren’t closed on the first contact, which is why follow-ups are essential.Example Workflow:Day 1: Send a thank-you email after a seller contacts you.Day 3: Share a case study of a seller you helped.Day 7: Send a friendly reminder with a call-to-action like “Let’s schedule a quick call to discuss your options.”Pro Tip: Mix email and SMS follow-ups to keep the conversation warm.Why It Works:Automation saves you time while nurturing leads until they’re ready to sell.3.

This would make a good case study.
