In Maryvale (Phoenix, next door) ( basically the other end of the spectrum,) you'd look at the basics, roof, AC, kitchen, bathroom, floors, door knobs (hardware), switches, lights and you'd change it from antique Mexican flavor to newer antique Mexican flavor, and profit about $60,000 in shorter time.

"Am I Being too Subtle?"

Strong rent demand, reasonable prices, and solid long-term fundamentals.Each one has its own flavor, but those are the markets I see investors come back to again and again.

But I'll add, DSCR seems to be the flavor of the moment, but terms really vary between funding sources.

It has been beneficial for me to know the areas, local players and be able to see subtle changes in neighborhood.

I like to invest in neighborhoods near my home that are close enough that I am familiar with the nuances and can watch for subtle changes.

I googled, read one afternoon and invented my own chart of accounts that I have used for years, with subtle changes as needed.That's excellent that you have the knowledge and experience to create the software!

Again, these questions have a bit of turnkey flavor to them, but they work very well when interviewing management companies.

They all have their own flavor though.
