The idea in apartment complex or hotel searching is that you need to find something that you can immediately improve (then probably refinance).What should you be looking for exactly that lets you know you can improve this property right away?

Good idea, thank you.

Just make sure you do your research on each property (of course) and have a good idea of what you are looking for (side of town, ranch, 3+ bedroom, etc...)
