@Joe S.have it inspected by a pro the, quality and quantity.

The challenge is finding a sweet harmony between the two, and doing so in a way that works well for you as operators.Go out there and get it!

Made some minor repairs and made all rents equal to bedroom quantity.

It seems like a decent way to increase the quantity of C Class properties if it is done right.

Or does it need to be generating its own money despite the quantity?

You walk in and look for the best ones in the bundle.I see people buying quantity just to get to 100 doors and they might have a purpose to do that. 

A) investors pay less than owner occupantsB) anyone buying a quantity of something wants to pay less than the “each price”In this market I would simply list each separately with the standard “this is part of a 1031 exchange and buyer will help coordinate the sale lingo” Any that aren’t under contract in less than 20 days are overpriced or badly marketed.

Put more focus on quality over quantity.

If the units are less than 1500sf each then the price per door for new units should definitely be under $4k per door without a quantity or off season discount. 

Instead of 50% expenses, take the time to go through and research those expenses that are known quantities, then estimate the remainder.
