My dream would be to buy a run down motel/hotel and fix it up and run an orphanage/foster home. 

These scores would vary based on the type of investor (flippers, buy and hold, etc) and different weights would be give to certain variables.

Just a side note- Be cautious of all the “gurus” out there who will try to sell you pipe dreams on getting into REI with zero cash.  

If you would like to converse with someone that will give you their honest, professional opinion, that is not trying to sell you on a dream, I recommend reaching out to @Malgorzata Sadowska.
