Quote from @Lauren Lockett: I'm currently looking for an STR policy as well.

Sometimes it can take longer to place a *qualified* tenant into these properties as well so your vacancy can be a bit higher. 

Can it be diy’d?

@Katie Roche - I have never worked with RTR, so I have no opinion or comment on them whatsoever accordingly.However, I find the comments about Harvest, AL made by them to be. . .well, bizarre.60 days to rent in Harvest means that either the property isn't adequately rehabbed and/or not priced accurately. 

Ask me how I know.It isn't Detroit that is doing well, it's the suburbs.

So I am looking to invest with HomeRoom as well.

This bodes well for long-term equity growth.Rising Rents: The uptick in rental prices shows a strong demand for rental properties and could lead to better cash flow for investors.Economic Strength: Reading has a diverse economy, with key sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, and education providing stability.Rental Demand: Low vacancy rates signal that people are actively renting in the area, which is essential for scalability.Future Development: Any upcoming infrastructure projects or new businesses could further boost the market.With these positive trends, it seems like Reading could be a scalable rental market.

DSCR won't work for us because given the rent roll we would only be able to be at 65% LTV, and we are looking to be at 70%-75%.

And I copied that idea for the core of my portfolio (although I also invest in alot of passive deals as well, in the satellite portion for a core-satellite approach).

That sounds like something I'd be interested in looking at as well.
