Home buyers are very easily visually influenced.

Our initial visual inspection of the common areas suggested the building was in good condition, prompting us to move forward with the contract.The contract included both a document contingency and an inspection contingency.

Some great resources:The BRRRR Book by David Greene (BiggerPockets) – covers buying and rehabbing rentals the right wayThe “Estimating Rehab Costs” book by J Scott – super practical and beginner-friendlyYouTube channels like The Build Show, InvestFourMore, and The Real Estate Robinsons break things down visually When walking a rehab deal, look closely at:Major systems: Roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbingKitchens & bathrooms (these can eat your budget fast)Foundation and structural issues (red flags = $$$)City/permit requirements — especially if you're in a stricter area For courses/masterminds:BiggerPockets Bootcamps – highly rated and beginner-focusedCheck local real estate investor meetups (REIAs) — many offer in-person or virtual training on rehabs and deal analysisAshley Kehr’s Rookie Investor content (on BP and Instagram) is great if you want practical, down-to-earth adviceFinally, be sure to build your team early — especially a contractor and an investor-friendly agent (or become one yourself if you’re interested).

Co-living isn’t just an alternative to traditional rentals—it’s a way to maximize cash flow, lower risk, and attract investors.To make this post more insightful, I’ve included graphs and visuals that break down the key benefits of co-living and why serious investors should be paying attention.1.

Look at individual property performance in the “Rentalizer” tool.Other tools to cross-check:Mashvisor – For STR and traditional rental analytics.Rabbu – STR projections with visuals and financial models.Furnished Finder / Airbnb actual listings – Manually check what hosts are charging and how booked they are.3.

Beyond just adjusting numbers or visuals like others mentioned, I’d also take a step back and ask if your listing and overall brand are really telling the full story of what makes the property different.Buyers scroll fast.

While there's no shortage of options out there,as you mentioned, such as PropStream, DealCheck, REI Simpli, and Podio, the aim is to stand out by honing in on what really matters to investors: ROI, value, performance, efficiency, and possibly price.Expanding on what matters as outlined earlier, here are my assumptions regarding what investors might require if I were to launch a product today:User-Friendly Experience: A platform that feels like second nature to real estate investors, with intuitive design and features that make life easier.All-in-One Solutions: A toolbox stacked with everything necessary for successful investing—from finding leads to analyzing deals and managing properties.Seamless Integration: Make workflow smoother by seamlessly connecting with other essential tools and platforms you rely on.Insightful Analytics: Next-level decision-making with advanced analytics and data visualization that help you optimize investment strategies.Now, the challenge lies in the fact that every investor is unique, and the features might be excessive if they don't offer genuine value.

If you’d like, we can provide a Capital Gains Strategy Guide that breaks down all these steps with visuals, gifting strategies, and tax-saving examples.
