I started investing in peerstreet back in 2017. I used "auto investing" to pick 10 notes at $2000 each. Half of the notes defaulted. It takes 6-12 months to get your money back from a default. My money has been tied up with one note for almost 2 years. (see below) Although I haven't "lost money" I could have earned more in a savings account.  I do not recommend.

You have to think about the condition the house is in when the 1% rule is applied. If you have a nicely rehabbed house, with a new roof, kitchen, bath, HVAC system, you will have lower repairs, and CapX. You will also have a lower vacancy because your property will look nicer than the competition. This cash flow will allow you to build your portfolio. If you buy an old, dated house for $125k that rents for $1200, you should count on negative cash flow for the first few years while you improve the property.
