Be conservative in your rent projections and overestimate the repairs.I am not sure what the age of this property is, but I have found with older properties (mixed-use and apartment complexes), there are several variables that are typically not an issue with newer properties.

I get to the point of targeting a divorcing, male tenant with 2-3 kids, age 32-45, who makes between __ and ___, who currently live in ___ radius.

The first property I ever purchased years ago I sold last year due to its age and location.  

I would do it again for sure if I was still in my early 20’s and single, but not at my current advanced age, with a family. 

In this day n age a buyer either has there pre-qual letter, a verification of funds, or nothing.

It depends on a few things:1) Climate - if below 35 latitude you most likely will want fans2) Age/Build of the House, i.e. is it going to be a hassle to get a box installed.

Main reason was the building age.

Some cities have embraced STRs, while others have stringent regulations or outright bans.San Diego, specifically neighborhoods like Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, and La Jolla, have been popular for STRs.

I've taken the lifespan and current age of the item (many do not add current age but I don't understand how you can be accurate without it) into account to estimate the remaining years until replacement is needed.

when you read the common themes of the presentations its simply the age old MLM presentations..
