Just get a solid equity stake in whatever you purchase and let the surrounding comps speak for themselves.I've given comps, upgrades and tons of other information to appraisers when they came to appraise my properties.

I’m particular about which properties I will purchase in that I make sure they are upscale by my standards (I would live in them), and I believe their rents will continue to be solid and enough to cover my bills even if there is a market downturn.

I’m a recently separated Marine Officer who is looking for a solid real estate attorney to work on setting up the business, wholesaling, and general RE investments in the area.

I have $100k in liquid assets, a good debt:equity, and solid credit score.

Well with the scope they found a small root growing through the line about halfway to the main city connect.

You do limit yourself if you don't leverage opportunities outside of your local area, but yes, it can be a good way to find solid lenders, contractors, wholesalers, etc.

If the house is so old that it has ancient pipes that have never been serviced, or massive trees all around the house that could have roots burrowing into them, etc, etc.

I'm rooting for you to get out of the rat race soon!!

Visio has a solid financing product for STR's 

I have solid credit and good cash flow.
