I'd say the PM you talk to doesn't spend much time talking to their customers ... this is a nightmare for me every year.

Ouch...Here is where I ask all of my customers the big question? 

At best I’ll be able to find solid properties that will be self sustainable and cash flow in the positive side of things.

All the million dollar custom homes in my area have smooth walls.

Different customer, but 3.7% from what I understand is pretty darn high. 

This open concept home includes designer styled kitchen with custom cabinets, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances including a stainless steel farmhouse sink, vented hood system, and a stunning glass tile back splash.

Kitchen has custom Cabinets, Stainless Steel appliances including Gas range with pot filler, tile backsplash and leathered marble countertops.

With the rent to price ratio, I'm just looking to cash flow, but mainly to sustain my investment.

Their focus is on maximizing their markup rather than accepting a smaller profit to ensure the buyer can profit from the rehab and become a repeat customer.
