The numbers you use look sound, but the after renovation value is the critical factor in ANY purchase we make in my organization. 

Interacting face to face will help tremendously with forming those critical relationships to aid your progress.

Hi Everyone, I landed my first rental property last year and have a question about maintenance - I have often heard it's a good idea to check your HVAC annually so I wanted to put together a list of critical items that need to be checked.

Agree beyond ROI, location specific costs and risks are critical.  

You can also use a pre-qual form, but I recommend keeping it short and hitting only 3-5 of the most critical qualifiers (income, credit score, pets or no pets, etc.).I also recommend you try to reach out verbally when possible.

Know how to take constructive criticism.

Please do not hesitate to criticize my newbie plan (but preferably offer a solution if you do). 

In the insurance niche, it's critical that insurers find comparable properties for their clients.

@Daniel Coleman, this is not too dissimilar from what makes someone comfortable with any investment.  

I am wondering whether garage will be critical to resale.
