Don,  great points as usual from my cheap seats what I see coming down the pike and have personally experienced over the years in Sub to is this new crop of Guru pitching this form of acquiring real estate..

I’ve come across a lot of new investors who throw around phrases like 'closing escrow' to sound more experienced.

I target cheap C+ class homes because turnovers amongst this class of tenants is almost zero, and the profits are much higher.

Copper is expensive, you want to use pex (and make sure they don't buy the cheap stuff from the big box store).

And I noticed that many of the unfurnished units were offered with a month to month lease... the kids would get cheap furniture that they didn't care about tearing up and giving away when they were done.

Coders overseas know many businesses want something for cheap cost so they slam out junk with lots of bugs and then charge them over time to fix it.So when you build software the money has to come from somewhere.

If the price points are too high I would try to ask for a price that makes sense for you but I wouldn't throw numbers that you know would make them feel insulted. 

@Daniel Stevens Flint really has nothing positive going for it these days and Burton is rural - hence the cheap prices!

Every market is different, but in New Orleans there are two types of guests: 1)  Guests looking for a dirt cheap place to stay and don't care where it is, but will complain about the tiniest little things, when in most cases the Airbnb is much nicer than their own home.2)  Guests looking for a unique stay in a real neighborhood (how Airbnb started, until investors of faceless LLCs started to gobble up and change the fabric of these neighborhoods).

This doesnt mean DSCRs are inferior products; theyre great for what theyre meant for, which is relatively cheap, permanent financing for real estate without having to jump through the hoops of a Conventional loan.
