I suspect that is due the psychological aspect in the appearance of it being cheaper in rent, because it's all in the same  area/complex. 

With software like propstream I can even look at seller mortgage details and MLS private remark.Getting license you only know the legality aspect of being an agent but doesn't necessarily means you would be a smarter one to get to know the market.The only thing that I can not do with propstream is I can not download all disclosures when I try to purchase.

But then their is the real world aspect and they just don't pan out.  

By adding value through renovations, design tailored to German preferences, or flexible leasing strategies, you can turn seemingly average properties into STR gold mines.3.

It doesn't add layers of physical damage coverage or cover things that wouldn't otherwise be covered.Agreed, didn’t realize that was the sole aspect of the question.

Besides the price point, there would certainly be a time savings aspect too (and we all know time is money).  

What I love about Baselane is that it was built BY real estate investors FOR real estate investors so it's really dialed in to what you're going to need in order to prepare your taxes, keep your books up to date and the more operational aspects of being an REI like tenant vetting and processing rent payments.

Also make sure to consider all the aspects you can including the tax differences. 

Please try not to confuse two totally different aspects of investing when giving advice.

I appreciate you telling me your experiences with it, I understand there are different aspects of real estate.
