Many of them only attract unreasonably CHEAP owners who will immediately fire you if they find someone else cheaper or you won't capitulate to their cost-cutting demands.

Quote from @Austin Fowler: Would love to hear from people actively raising equity capital for deals and the kinds of returns you routinely project to attract capital.

I recently started using DoorLoop to manage the 87 doors in my property management firm, which are owned by 16 different owners.The website and features feel unnecessarily complicated, despite the attractive interface.

Kind of goes along with 1 but you're also in a resort, which also attracts people expecting a certain level of amenities and"wow" factor.

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't invest the time to ACTUALLY understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

Information available for commercial properties was even scantier, broker’s handling commercial listings produced teaser “information sheets” and much more elaborate “offering circulars”.

Mine usually don’t produce much at all the first 2 or 3 years.

While a duplex will work, finding them can be challenging and may take some time.Another attraction with a duplex is you could experiment with STR & MTR in the other unit for more cashflow to spur your portfolio growth!

What other features should I highlight to make my rental property that’s for sale more attractive to investors?  

Now, why does the NC side of the Smokies look more attractive?
