Also, I was planning to add more professional photos (HD Quality) along with a lower price tag by $10,000.

You can begin by reading here in BP, then buying books and audios.

Don't want this to sound like a justification to be a slumlord, allowing deferred maintenance decreases equity, rates or appreciation and income and can change the quality of tenants you may draw upon.

A little bit about myself for anyone interested:I'm looking to be a buy-and-hold investor while continuing my regular job - I am looking to put money to work and would be potentially interested in doing so as part of someone else's deal; I would consider both SFR and MFR deals.I am an investor in my day job (currently private equity / buyouts, soon to become public equities) so may have some bad habits, or at least industry-specific ones, to break; I generally anticipate being relatively analytical / systematic in looking at dealsMy family held a few properties when I was growing up - I have experience personally doing refurbishing work and secondhand experience with property management activities (this will hopefully help me as contextual information, I don't anticipate taking on an active role in refurb or property management in the near future)Right now, I am trying to educate myself on the process of deal sourcing (MLS, wholesaler buyer lists, etc.) and market data sources; in particular, I would really appreciate any input on good sources for publicly available market-level data in manipulable format such as Excel or .csv as well as input from anyone who uses a systematic deal-screening approach both on their criteria and how they get reliable / quality data into a screening-friendly formatThanks for everything people have already contributed. 

High Quality leads. 

You will pay 3-4x as much as I pay for cabinets of lesser quality.

The quality of the neighborhood & the quality of the home both come into play.You will get better tenants with a nicer home because more tenants will be interested in the home & you will have more tenants to choose from.

Makes a huge difference...model home seemed bigger and home seemed higher quality overall.

Primarily I'm very much interested in gaining quality experience in private lending and/or partnerships in which I can provide funding.  

This is a good question Me personally I have a small family business and one thing that I find interesting is that if you provide a good quality of work word of mouth is huge!!!
