This is 100% true.

This is especially true in single family zoned areas.  

Rather, it would look at the true NOI vs the P&I.

Now if the time where true investors shine and can still make money.

Bigger Markets: It’s true that underwriting deals in suburban markets can be challenging due to lower transaction volumes.

House worth 400k needs 100k of work and agent is listing it for 435k telling you it’s a handyman project  With my experience the last year a lot of houses go under contract and then reappear so just stick true to your numbers and don’t get wrapped up into a bidding warI hope my little rant helps but good luck to you and maybe will be out there bidding on some houses lmao good luck brother!

This is very true.

Wow what a dream come true this would be?

Losing a listing opportunity because an agent you don't even know bad mouthed you and told the client things that arent even true or accurate - yes this did happen.

I would do a lot of research to understand the true values and differences of cash-flow and appreciation.
