It's lower than 1.5%, sometimes I price deals out conventional & DSCR, DSCR beats conventional pricing a fair amount of the time.The only catch is the prepayment penalty on a DSCR loan.

I do not have experience in commercial real estate transactions.

I went to every one of the 65 hearings myself and got 61 properties lower and 4 remaining the same. 

This implies residential units can be built at lower costs and provide better return. 11) adding an ADU to SFH can make the SFH fall under rent control.good luck

On houses below $200k, the 70% rule gives you too low of a profit - you need to lower it the lower you go (ie a $100k ARV would probably be a 60% rule).

I have focused my research on house hacking due to the lower upfront capital requirements with an FHA loan.

LTRs with long term conventional financing and standard management aren't really cash flowing anywhere right now. sure, there are lower cost markets that look better on paper, but there are costs associated with those supposedly cheap markets as well - deferred maintenance, more challenging tenant base, higher cost turnovers as a percentage of the rent.2. i wouldn't pick a random market thousands of miles away based solely on statistics or numbers. 

The lower barrier to entry would be excellent for my personally smaller net worth.

That will get you looking at cash flow and end up in a lower rated area than you think.

The market does offer lower priced investment opportunities and higher cashflow returns, with ongoing revitalization projects like the DORA boosting appreciation potential.
