If you can nail everything on the head that an appraiser values/looks and implement it during rehab, you'll get a higher appraisal. 

In one of my rentals, the Condo Property Management implemented new leasing procedures requiring a lease to be renewed every year, updating Owner/Tenant info and signing a rent payment assignment, as well as Tenants ID or Drivers Licence, Credit info and background check results.

Long term goal for both are to automate them but I want to build capital through real estate flips in the short term.

The San Marcos facility employs more than 1,500 full-time workers, though Amazon continues to introduce more and more automation into its facilities. 

Do you try and implement more of an automated system online that you can train the manager to use?

I own a fourplex that I am currently house hacking and trying to simply and automate my processes.

Technology automates most investor interactions.

We done some rehab updating units, implemented utility bill back and new management.

I’m currently implementing a new strategy for 2020 and excited to see how my local market responds to it going forward !

Getting started in your early 20's definitely puts you ahead of the curve to be able to implement that strategy over time and take advantage of house hacking to get started with little risk/money.The 203k loan is a great product however there is a lot of red tape that goes along with it.
