If I could write an offer, get them all at a steal, and then earn more than 1% on rent it makes the deal very attractive.

@Sean McClureHi Sean,Here are my thoughts on this.If it were mine (excluding trying to pump the appraisal from the question because it's an owner/operator SFH vs flipping it).Overall, I would be concerned with not over-improving it for the amount of rent it will attract.First I would figure out the minimum that needs to be done to attract the average rent for the area (base on what the competitor rentals have that are getting that rent), and what (if any) modernization's (wall color, 3-prong outlets, Carbon Monoxide detectors, etc...) need to be done (to make it safe, and desirable to an average tenant in the area), then decide what "Hardening" needs to be done to it, to make turns, maintenance and ownership less costly.Good Luck! 

It shows them you are genuinely interested and they will be attracted to that. 

The grade of tenant you will attract is a function of the area and the property itself.

Unfortunately, it also attracts its share of sophisticated scammers with fake websites, spoofed email addresses, and professional sounding names.

Because I’m new to this I tend to favor the duplex in my mind because it’s been nicely renovated and it’s more attractive, but that’s probably just the newbie in me talking.

The pure study of the law is very attractive to me but there are too few legal scholars these days. 

Combine that with my 10 month old son and my fiancée, his stay at home mom, and you can see why such a powerful investment vehicle was so attractive to me.From the research that I’ve done so far, I’m very interested in the BRRRR method.

I found some real estate agents that were sending me deals I wasn’t attracted to without taking the time to fully understand my financing situation.

I have thought a lot about doing a BRRRR, and am in the middle of David Greene's book right now which makes it even more attractive.
