@Marc Zak look at the free calculator here on BP to see a pretty good model to analyze rental deals.

This model works just about everywhere besides places that have occupancy limits.  

They seem to be trying to use a PMC model designed for Class A properties/tenants for Class B, C and sometimes D.Can't use the same business model for all classes of properties/tenants. 

Plus STRs are not the model for me.

Both upset the same mechanisms (same brand, matching models).The camera option may be the best bet.  

Quote from @Jessie Dillon: just my 2 cents.. i'm not a fan of the syndication model. there are better ways to invest more passively where you have more of a say in what goes on, can achieve higher returns, and can have your personal interests at a higher priority. 

After building a portfolio of fully renovated homes I wanted to give this model a chance.

If you get your system and modeling down and follow what I mentioned above with respect to coming up with your strike price/offer price, you shouldn't look back if someone overpays for the property.
