The main reason is that it is not initially set up for a Real Estate business like other “real estate-specific” accounting software.

I've never invested in commercial real estate but the price they want to sell for seems very attractive.

I know that my COC my be lower, etc but my main concern since its my first property is being cash flow positive.  

Highlight nearby conveniences and any neighborhood growth to attract interest.Focus on framing the size as a bonus that buyers get more space and value for their money compared to smaller homes.

Airbnb can get you more high value bookings if you're property attracts those. 

Are you essentially saying the expected higher interest rate is the main issue with the strategy?

@Alan AsriantsI was the main investor. 

I'd mainly be lending in DFW.

For example is the 3/4" settlement in a main area of the home, is it in a basement?

It's a simple way to gauge the condition of the building's main sewer line.Unfortunately fraudulent rental applications are more common than one would think so good on you for catching that.
