Investment LogicWanting a property to be nice is fine - it helps with pride of ownership - but if it compromises cash flow, it’s better to step back.One approach: find a property that’s attractive but not extravagant - something functional, safe, and rentable.

I’ll walk the property, provide detailed visual reports, and point out issues that many inspectors might miss.

Definitely an upgrade over a spreadsheet - the data visualizations are nice, and no manual entry (although a bit of manual editing).  

That alone can make a huge difference in how tenants perceive the situation.One thing that’s worked well for me is giving tenants a clear visual timeline, even a simple one-pager that shows when each phase of work will happen and what areas of the home will be affected.

I hunt for ugly houses with good bones, rehab them for function over flash, rent for steady cash flow, refinance to pull out my initial money, then do it again.

Make it easy for them to move through, ask questions, and visualize what they’d do with the propertyWhy This MattersA well-run inspection walkthrough isn’t just about one showing—it’s about driving revenue and creating competition.
