For me, I had to invest in a lower cost market to reach my goals in a reasonable amount of time (3-5 years).

I come from a data science background, so I'm accustomed to creating models to derive the incremental ROI of each variable.I hear some people saying "get the $10,000 hot tub", and I get that, especially if it's a "table stake" that your property needs just to be considered by guests.However, when thinking about less standard amenities, like putting greens, gaming rooms, billiard tables, pool toys, etc. what tools or methods do y'all use to evaluate if a given idea will deliver a positive ROI?

Lots and lots to consider here.The main thing I would suggest is to reach out to some agents in the markets you are trying to find properties in. 

Please reach out whenever you’d like to connect.

I tried not to get caught up in sticking to hard rules and look at the long game because that is my strategy.

I have also reached out to some of the real estate companies for information on insurance fees and rental company costs that go into the monthly operations of apartment buildings.

I highly recommend being proactive and reaching out to people on this forum.

Thanks for reaching out.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out always happy to talk REI and help.
