Also, the oxford house has strict rules for each tenant with 10pm curfew, weekly drug testing, weekly required AA/NA meetings, and required job/school. 

That could replace a big chunk of my ~$112k/yr PM spend without slowing acquisitions.I’m leaning toward a test: hire a VA + local runner/ops lead, keep CapEx in-house, outsource leasing/renewals, and measure it for a full cycle.

That’s a smart way to stress test your numbers.

The thing with DealSnap is that I’m testing a much more lightweight, super-fast version: copy a Zillow link, fill in minimal inputs, and get a clean, one-page PDF instantly - no learning curve, no extra screens.

If you want, I can share the analyzer I use to quickly stress-test deals so you’ll know what to expect before making offers. 

Quote from @Rob Howard: @Kevin Day I'm not sure about Cleveland per se - but I would have a conversation with the management company to incorporate language in rental agreements saying you DON'T have in-depth lead information - even if you do the inspections - if you're doing tests, a few feet from where you did the test could have led exposure.

My initial thoughts after purchasing the land is to get it prepped for build, doing everything from perk test to septic permits, getting utilities and everything ran to the property to do a lot of the headache work that the general contractors and builders would have to do.And this is where I get a little stuck - at what point in the deal would you receive your payment?

Clustered vacancies tests survival.Another thing is to set a hard rule that you’ll never drop standards just to stop the bleeding.

I really like calling nearby renovated properties or networking with local investors to get some contacts and then just test them with small projects. 

I have a particular interest in historic properties not only because I think the quality of the materials are better, but because I think the architectural charm and interest will stand the test of time and appreciate.
