For trustee sale tracking were making updates every 5-15 minutes the day of sale, at the other end of the spectrum is is full county assessor updates which are typically twice a year, but may be once a year - which is due to the county, rather than us (though we do update owner info upon each transfer, so for important changes it is updated daily).

"Money with no brains" is a broad statement. 

If you have a 100 year old home in Broad Ripple, then do a full rehab and sell it.

Sometimes on older rentals, ACV may be the only option2) Special Form, if they don't offer that, then Broad Form.

They tend to sell on the higher spectrum of sales in my neighborhood - so in my situation it would likely appreciate.But like I said, I am using the equity for investments.

@Danny Webber the question is overly broad. 

I really want to gain some knowledge on a few different neighborhoods so I can narrow down my search criteria as I believe I have been too broad thus far and can’t decipher between a property in a terrible area vs. one that has potential to be a good rental in an up and coming neighborhood just by looking at google maps and the MLS.

@Varun Parkash  That's a pretty broad question, and is tightly location-dependent. 

You could get a couple quotes from GCs who can knock out everything for you in one go and compare that to hiring and coordinating the major items directly.There are roughly two broad categories of GCs.

this is a cash buyer .. we have one closing on Jan at 2.2 in Charleston historic district same thing cash buyer.. so interest rates are not affecting them.. in these uber cool markets its all about location.. for instance the 2.2 one we are the ONLY new build South of Broad in the top end historic district.. and that one never even made it to market.. ( which might have been a mistake) but when I bought the lot I was going to be happy at anything between 1.9 and 2.0 so to get 2.2  we are very happy.. nice way to start Q 1..
