Go with the applicant that you feel visualized themselves in the house during the inspection...did they look at outlet locations?

Some markets are rougher than other ones, so you just have to understand the dynamics/numbers of each one.

This really helped me visualize the process of a BRRRR.

Based on your story I don't see that.Second as a home inspector I can tell you that inspection is only visual.

I'm having problems visualizing how to fix up properties to the extent that they need to be, and not overspending to make it beautiful or restore to former glory.

Great looking rehab project @Stephen Herbert - I love seeing the before and after pics because it helps me visualize the end product when I'm looking at property.How did you select the specific staging company?

(rent estimate, comps, market dynamics, statistics, etc)For capex estimate, it make sense too, but I believe you're only able to do that at a later stage of the process?

For those of you who're interested, I completed my ADU project and you can see the 3D visualization of my place here: https://my.matterport.com/models/hRAxQheq93H?

Every other market (Detroit, Indianapolis, etc) not only is remote from you, but has different dynamics on rentals (is the greatest opportunity a SFR, or duplex, or 3-/4-family?).

Reading "Fundamentals of Fluid Dynamics" doesn't make doing the problems simple, interviewing recent graduates about the struggles of boot camp doesn't make a 15 mile hike with 100lb easy, taking advice about how to fly in formation 100ft from another aircraft at night doesn't make it easier (or any less risky).
