My plan in broad terms: 1) meet with the city/zoning folks 2) narrow down the construction company we will work with. 3) figure out the financing/cash flow potentialAny other thoughts?

Years of band aids will lead you to worse.

Then you narrow it down to particular cities and investment types.

.* Narrow down these many potential deals with a quick elimination process: Find the initial estimated ARV online by averaging all of the instant home value estimators like Zillow (confirm this later with the actual ARV from realtor comps). 

Sometimes the amount of options are so overwhelming, I just need to narrow in on one and make a decision.

If A=B and B=C then climate change is real.

I just sent you the blog post I am working on that that has the breakout by price band (and days on market) as well to show you how you are more likely to get a discount on higher priced stuff.But, here's even a different chart (not included in the blog post that I just private messaged you) showing both the average discount and the median discount for just the last 12 months in just one real estate market (Fort Collins, Colorado) broken out by price band.

You can put in certain demographics like age to narrow the focus because people that are closer to retirement age may want to be free of medium size apartments like that.

What’s the difference between A, B and C type of market when it comes to buying and selling as well as renting?

The landlord friendly laws are definitely a factor in me narrowing my first market down to Little Rock, as are the low taxes.I have found a property SW Little Rock that I"m interested in...it will be fully rehabed and rent ready.
