In our experience we have typically bought B-class properties (single fam or duplex) close to diverse areas of economic development.

And then to add 'fullness' to the house, get a few rugs and wall art pictures/paintings (again, these can be economical).You can also look into furniture rental.

I'm not currently making a huge effort at this but a couple of years ago, I was able to connect with the Director of Economic Development in a smaller city nearby which was fruitful.

I will stick with more economical commodes fit for humbler cheeks.

I've got a meeting set up with the IL housing development authority and email out to city economic development team to open discussion. 

There was another interesting tidbit this morning I came across, an interview with the outgoing Virginia Economic Developmemt Director ...he offered an interesting prognosis that the future workforce would likely not be all remote (he thought less than10% of businesses would be fully remote), but he did think most would be hybrid, partly in the office and partly remote. 

Not saying that is a high tech system for the current owner but also seems to run very smoothly and economical from an outside perspective.I would say rents in todays market could go to $500 a month over time which would raise monthly revenue to $4,500.00As far as big repairs left to be completed, I would definitely have to check the age of the roof, hvac, etc. as I am not sure to there age. 

Help educate them on if they tried to rent a similar property, what the economics look like, and slightly try to beat it!  

As such, the economics of our builds are we sell at $290-300/sf and our all-in cost on this project (including land at $84k/lot) is approximately $185/sf.
