Thought it might be useful for first time investors.To re-state your audience are people who want to start in REI.Your next question is what is the most under appreciated REI investment.The underlying question is where “they” can do the best.Here is how I address this question with new investors.1.

The logical approach is to schedule inspections with domain specialists, get a good sense of how much each of those items will cost and negotiate the price.

The logic of not replacing a worn out rook is like having brakes squealing and grinding on your car and not fixing them because they haven't failed yet and caused you to have a wreck.

If it’s a good deal and cheaper sources of money are not available to you then that’s the next logical step.

It seems like the logical easiest method for all parties involved.Thanks, Dan Dietz

Seems to make logical sense.

Your way is the logical way and anyone w/ two brain cells would see that. 

Which brings me back to my original thoughts - It feels like all of Dallas immediately surrounding downtown is looking to gentrify and become higher end, which really doesn't seem logical or feasible given the need to have housing for all income levels. 

The best way to get an audience with someone like that is to figure out how you can provide value to what they need.a quick actionable item: throw out music; listen exclusively to podcasts or books during your commute.

You can go with a more logical/practical approach; W2 employed, save your capital, build your credit, and buy your first deal which is usually a house hack or traditional SFH rental.
