What made me interested in this deal was the combination of the property's potential and the neighborhood's growth.

It feels as if the shift to more of an apartment home is what helps with tenant retention.Having amenities on property, such as dog parks and fitness centers, help with retention, and being close to amenities also helps.I think the same can be said for most smaller multifamily, with having washer dryer hook ups, 2 to 3 beds, at east 1 1/2 baths, if you have some privacy for a yard would be a huge bonus.I really would stay away from pools for small multi families.

The place was dirty and disgusting and the washers never worked and nobody would come to fix them. 

So I like to lean into a combination of house hacking and value add.

He can use the $2–3 million to purchase multiple properties, provided their combined value meets or exceeds the ranch's sale price.

Floor and Decor is a great place for tile combined with the selection and the savings over HD and Lowe's makes this store a good resource. 

I'm not making excuses for propstream or pin... but just my personal experience is that I wouldn't expect skip tracing to really be THAT effective.What bothers me the most is all the companies that market it as "we do skip tracing, you just click here and get the number" without making it clear that it's some computer's best guess at a number based on a million social media sites combined with county records..etc.. 

We let it ride & then found it was her brother going through a tough separation so occasionally he needed to get away. 

I used a combination of propstream, zillow, rentometer, and propwire.

A lot of people don't even know some of the more creative properties you can buy with a VA loan (like mixed use or even a 6 unit apartment complex if you combine VA entitlement with another soldier).
