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.

I would recommend that you don't ignore it; repair the drywall, monitor it and see if the drywall cracks in the same locations again.

I'd absolutely focus on quality over quantity here.My recommendation is to be diligent and narrow down your research of where based off why, let go of the regret & resentment and put some actionable forces into getting your first REI and doing what it takes to get to a 2nd without any compromise.

Regardless, you might find the copy & paste info below helpful:)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

If you wanna be part of my team or have a referral/recommendation, I'll be more than happy to hear about it. 

I HIGHLY recommend them. 

I have not, but as a licensed broker I would recommend listing on MLS which will post it to Zillow, Realtor.com etc. 

The best way to get through the door with subs is a recommendation/connection from someone they respect.

If NY is where you decide to be I would strongly recommend connecting with @Mohammed Rahman he is who I would use. 

If you are looking to house hack in our local neck of the woods, I recommend reaching out to @Josh Green.
