I have a market that I've been concentrating my time to understand, and left our conversation promising to bring to him some of my research on the best 2 or 3 deals.

Respectfully I would tell you to concentrate on getting pre-approved with a lender as your first step.

So, I spend time on the internet just looking at properties "just because" and I'm embarrassed to admit how much I actually do that, haha.  

For example, you can deduct the cost of your internet bill and phone bill.

I believe that the best bang for your buck is to concentrate on the kitchen area, bathrooms and master bathroom. 

Most of this stuff relies on a good internet connection - it seems that the technology has come a long way, and the options are improving.My main question is if anyone has any specific input on this broadly, but then more specifically, getting internet set up on a job site may be a challenge - I'm looking into different Mobile Hotspot type options. 

Electric or internet?   

The first position will continue through foreclosure in order to remove the other liens, apply the safe harbor for the hoa and mitigate their losses.So data wise concentrating in disqualifying characteristics will allow you to assign the investment strategy to each scenario.Its definitely a fun challenge but very time consuming in my opinion real-estate is in desperate need for innovation.

Most folks know how to use this 'new' thing called the Internet.

@Stephen Wong If funds are limited, I would ensure that the property is clean, organized, and somewhat appealing on the outside, then concentrate the remaining funds on the inside until you can afford more exterior upgrades.
