I have had instances where they were able to provide the code reference and instances were it was “preferred” or “standard” and we were not required to do what was originally asked. 

For instance, many investors focus on cash flow as it is a good, conservative way of running their real estate portfolio.

For instance, most of the properties I'm looking at are in need of all sorts of upgrades, but which items have the most impact on the appraised value.

For instance, purchase price of $100k, supposedly $150K (50% equity) in value with a 20% down payment?

For instance, if you're buying SFRs, then I would be within a 2-3 hour driving distance.

@Matthew Fullam - STRs (Short Term Rentals) are not actually "subletting" because the "guest" isn't typically residing in the residence... but "visiting'' for less than thirty days, in most instances.

For instance, of our 7 rentals perhaps the ones with 10+ year old water heaters, we pay the $7/mo or so for the water heater repair/replace plan. 

For instance, a doctor who saves lives every day at the local hospital could have paid rent all through his life to a real estate investor who owned many rentals in the same local area.

For instance, I've heard that a good test is to write on a sample with a pencil.

Direct deposit can work out well in some instances but you need to make sure the tenants are unable to deposit a partial rent payment.
