Ask them if they'd mind sharing their experience with you.. if they'd recommend the area or not, and lastly if they could maybe send you a P/L sheet to see their income, expenses etc.You might run into some hosts that aren't responsive or any help, but it just takes a few people to share insight to get a good idea of the market you're dealing with.

Reflecting on the last 20+ yrs, when we could cash flow immediately with low cost sfr, had we gone with the higher priced properties and significantly lower cash flow, more debt, we could not have achieved IRRs even close to what the lower end product has delivered, nor paid off the investments.

For a little background - I have been taking a big loss on this property for the last year for reasons out of the control of my property managers.What would you do in this situation?

It's so bad that my last purchase was in Indiana, which was my first OOS investment, and likely will continue to look there if the market doesn't improve here.  

Hey @John FriendasI have purchased 4 of my Co-Living (rent by room) properties with DSCR, 1 of them within the last few months.Not that I necessarily recommend this, but there are short-term-rental DSCR products.

After discussing it more last night.

. $200,000 of rent not paid over the last 4 months.

I cannot remember the last time that is visited a property before making an offer.
