Just had to switch several of our cabins and saved a ton of money. 

For some people it comes down to spending-some people can make 3x their rent and still be short money, others could make 2x their rent and always pay on time.

And I actually like the ones that I have to dig harder for because they tend to be even better deals.   

Your tenant's voucher amount can change and even go to zero.Doing a walkthrough will probably work fine if this is a deal on the MLS.

I don't know any contractors yet, and even if I knew, I wouldn't be able to ask them for a quote for every single listing I analyze.I am very new to this community and I am very eager to learn as much as possible.

Do the owners even care?

I had analysis paralysis yes it’s a real thing, even if it’s just an umbrella term for a multitude of factors.

We were helping a friend renovate a house which had been home to a heavy smoker: one room was so bad - owner had smoked in the same chair for 30 years - that we had to replace the sheet rock on the walls and ceiling.There have been some studies in the past few years showing that the chemicals from cigarette smoke, even when encapsulated with paint, eventually come to the surface exposing future residents, in particular young children.  

I even use the key to look at other properties for sale by the same bank.

Can't really argue, places like Indianapolis, Columbus, Dayton, even Chicago (despite the higher Illinois taxes and…all the fun that comes along with Chicago) can pencil if you find the right property.On a different front, though, I ran a survey a week ago asking where people are looking to invest this year.
