I try to have my rentals be weed free (properly remove any weeds), as I have seen some CRAZY weed yards, and simple/clean as possible. 

And tbf this was kind of a deal for a number of reasons I kind of got lucky on, the agent had it coming soon, I was going away, should wouldn’t let me see it early since that was an mls violation so she just listed a week early on a Tuesday, 9 offers in 24 hours, than pulled I was the highest cash offer and got it, think listed properly they probably could have gotten 250-260k.

It's best to start in your own backyard, but if your immediate area has less than 400,000 residents, then consider going to a virtual market- Connect with as many agents, contractors, property managers, attorneys, and title companies as you can.

Hire a property manager that knows how to properly market the property.

For newly constructed, purchased or renovated properties and also retroactive generally over the last 10 years, building components are properly classified into individual units of property and accurate recovery periods for computing depreciation deductions.

Of course, that means that your property will need to be prepared properly for this, which means "no carpet". 

. $40k also sounds very inexpensive and likely unpermitted so just be on the lookout for drive-by inspectors and make sure your contractors have proper workers comp. 

I will connect with Matt

Just do your numbers do them again and again until you know that the deal you’re looking at cash flows properly and that my friend makes it recession proof.

If you know how to use them properly (and don't max them all out to 100%!)
