Hi Erica, what I've notice is that high-quality (high-priced) washer and dryers don't out perform other based price models in rentals. 

@Duarte MarquesPossibly but highly not recommendedFor those with no real estate experience or experience in taking on debt, it’s not easyTo do it also with little to no down payment or reserves in most occasions will end in disasterReminds me of when in high school a friend used to let his dog drive his car.

Food for thought for me and you : If you where to start all the way from zero in wholesaling, how would you rebuild going back up?

If we took every trader from W.S. and threw them into the ocean today, how much less food would the farmer make next week?

For the high cost areas like Palo Alto it is difficult to get a property to cashflow out the gate because rents have not caught up with the cost. 

2-4 units cashflowing in today's environment is very tough, namely due to high prices and high interest rates. 

Throw out the high-value outliers. 

Quote from @Cameron Valentine: You're right—finding cash-flowing properties with 20-30% down in Tampa is tough right now with high prices and high interest rates.

High demand for Section 8 housing.

.: The fees are about market rate for PM companies although the repair is a little high imo - the issue sounds like they procured a bad tenant.
