Did they find a better place, a cheaper place, a better and cheaper place?

Private money may be cheaper, but may be more expensive if they are doing something that most hard money lenders wont do. 

There are cheaper one’s in D/F areas but I would be careful as those can create a laundry list of additional issues.

My lease has a sublet fee (2 weeks is guest by lease more than 2 weeks in a year is sublet) that is costly enough ($100/night per person which is about what a cheaper hotel is here) that makes sure tenants do not have others move-in without informing us.

At least in my area, it's cheaper to own a condo with the HOA dues than it is to pay for all the utilities, snow removal, waste management, maintenance, etc, that goes along with an SFR.

Even at 30% discount, the QBO Plus subscription most Real Estate investors have to have is still $63+Tax.You may look at Xero, I heard they have the Class feature but it is cheaper, it's just not as commonly used as QuickBooks.

Many people I speak with initially gravitate towards the "cheaper" areas because "numbers are better." 

Summit county (Akron) has a much lower sales tax rate (6.75%) than Cleveland (Cuyahoga at 8%).The MLS in Akron shows homes at similar if not cheaper homes but for a good reason.

Your quote are all across the board because some could be patching the cracks (cheaper ones), while others could be re-doing the section of wall with cracks (expensive ones).
