(Of course, there is a factor that higher rating will increase my booking but that is not just coming from adding one or two amenities) Besides item 5 and 6, I am not sure how much other items will attract more guests to my business.

Rate will be highly dependent on loan size, credit score, LTV, location, and property type, as well as a few other factors.

@John Underwood what would you say was the key factor is making your LTR cashflow so much? 

If you have a lot of equity and little cash flow, you should consider accessing that equity to use elsewhere.Another factor to consider is your interest rate on the debt.

It’s probably not that you’re “small potatoes” to your PM, but more a reflection of the nature of the market itself—low rents, properties with higher maintenance needs, and tenant issues.These factors make properties in these neighborhoods more difficult to manage and generally less profitable for property managers.

Are you suggesting this wasn’t a result of pent-up demand but rather due to some other factor?

When under contract at 300k with the expectation that codes would be the determining factor on what can be done on with the property, as it relates to new construction.

There was positive population growth, medium home price growth, low unemployment, good rent to home ratios, and low crime, all of which are factors when I start looking into an area to invest in.  

With that being said, the interest rate is going to be the single biggest determining factor for whether you're barely breaking even, or seeing a decent monthly cash flow.

Are there specific factors you look for in an area to make sure it’s a good fit for this type of rental setup?
