Sounds like a can't lose proposition to me.That said, I believe the millennial generation will be a generation that rents far longer into their life than their parents did as they are waiting longer to marry and tend to be more transient in their 20's than their parents were.

We advertise our properties before the tenants have moved out, but don't show a unit until the tenants are out AND it's clean.That gives us ~30 days to play with the price and generate interest.

One way to force appreciation though is to fix up a property, or take a multifamily property like the triplex and improve its cash flow (whether by generating higher rents or lowering costs), since multifamily properties are always bought by investors and are typically valued based off of their returns.  

I'm very attracted to deep value situations, which to me means gross cash flow generation above the 2% mark (to give a general metric).  

There are so many different ways to generate a credit score....Experian, Equifax and TransUnion are credit bureaus and keep your credit report info.  

I need 100 leads to close 1 sale.  25 leads in 6 months means that I need 24 months of leadgen with Realtor.com to generate 100 leads.24 months at $500/month = a $12,000 ad spend to generate $7,000 in net commission.  

Greater leveraging can get you into deals and generate a decent IRR, but you are at higher risk of something going wrong where you end up cash flowing negative or can't deal with a major expenditure.  

So, if you want accurate estimates, you should follow the methodology in the book, get contractor bids for the first few projects, and once you have the data from those bids/projects, you should start to be able to generate accurate estimates without as much help from contractors (though obviously, real bids are always better than numbers you come up with).3.
