For example, if you are looking to get $1,000 a month and all the available rentals on Zillow have hardwoods for a comparable-sized property/ unit you would want to add hardwoods.

Usually you need to have some experience before getting funding, however it will vary largely on the size of the rehab.

Hi @Nir YoshaI would recommend looking through the profiles of the investors in your area and then reaching out to those investors specifically & explain what you would be bringing to the table as a fellow investor as well.

I think think the size and amenities are going to be your most important. 

For my first property I'm going to use the BRRRR method and from there keep growing my portfolio.I used BRRRR to grow a "medium" sized portfolio in and around Atlanta that I am very happy with. 

I do not think this is a one size fits all answer and there are times where private lending is preferred over traditional financing.

I'd also look at other things like the size of the home (and rooms), layout and size of the lot. 

I have also seen solid LTR outside CH biggest focus is on the property itself for sqft, GLA, and lot size.

To summarize:The note investment market is a niche, relationship-driven industry with limited overall size.

They seem high for what I am assuming to be a smaller sized property.
