I should preface my response with saying that I have never done this but can offer my opinion as food for thought at leastMy question is: What makes a "good" deal and/or how do I know when I've come across a "good" deal?

The best coach is life and experience.You can only do so much theory and the best lessons are learnt via practice.There is enough free information here on BP and many very good and very experienced investors offering their advice for free.Just my opinion.Thanks 

@Neisa Adams Usually you look at the property (I bring my contractor on the initial showing because if he says no to a property then the deal is dead in the water to me) then you decide if you’re making an offer, then after your offer has been accepted you get an inspection done and once the inspection report comes in you get your estimates.

It's a good thing to have and runs about $150.00/year.As it runs about $10-$15/month, build it into the rent and offer to pay it for the tenant.

I want to point out something about what @Theresa Holl said.All those things are very cool and would be nice to offer, but they would constitute significant services which will change your taxable status.So you really have to balance those sorts of special experiences or offerings.

After the lease expires, you can renegotiate rent or offer a new lease aligned with your investment goals.

A market that is both expanding and stable might offer an ideal setting for real estate investment and rental property ownership.Even while flipping and repairing may be more common in your area, the BRRRR method could still be a good choice if the circumstances warrant it.

I really shouldn’t spend too much time on this because my offer very well simply be declined by the owner.
