Should have stuck with the bread and butter SFR rentals.

One transaction in particular we had to have an electrician strip back the cloth to prove there was copper, then cover in the more traditional synthetic covering.

MTR's are my bread and butter after I move out of property as my primary residence and turn into a stabilized investment property (house hacking!).

That is where they are getting their bread and butter from and their employees' salary(which take note as I've heard is around $4/hour).They will lure you in and make you believe on all their *****!

The difference is high cotton content versus synthetics in the cheap ones.

If you do find a real estate agent you like and who is "in tune with what is and isn't a good deal for an investor" you are already way ahead of the curve.Note also that it may be good to make contact with some agents who do the typical, "bread-and-butter" types of home sales and don't typically work with investors.

I have about 6 years of natural and synthetic stone countertops and aim to use this in my investment journey. 

My bread and butter has always been high equity absentees.

So properties that arent turn key, and have an opportunity to force some appreciation are my bread and butter.
