Keep ya posted...hit me back with any thoughts.Cheers,Miles

Then I bumped rents up $50 between each tenant until I felt like I hit the ceiling. 

Every market is a bit different, but sticking to what you would be desiring as a guest is more certain to hit than going based strictly off value.I find it ironic how vast the differences are between STR and LTR. 

@Ko Kashiwagi hit the nail on the head.

I registered our rentals with them and didn't get a hit although I have been getting inquires from other insurance companies via traditional listing sites.I'm happy to inform all of you that  after I posted  here that we are fully booked again and received multiple inquiries when I listed one unit at a lower rate until demand picks back up.Thank you all for your insights, they were very helpful.It was just the strangest thing, after bring fully booked with multiple properties since 2016 I guess there is just more competition and less demand so we really need to stand out.

They MAY somehow get lucky and flip one deal for a small profit; or get VERY lucky and hit an area going through rapid price appreciation and be able to leverage that for a short period of time.  

Have you seen the business financials and previous years rents along with looking at that the banks will want to see its 100% occupied without vacancy to hit a Debt service ratio of 1.25% Minimum in most cases.

In Cincinnati, where houses are still relatively affordable compared to coastal metros, I won't say there are a lot of properties that will hit this mark, but there are certainly some, so no need to jump at low yield properties, when I know another higher yield one will come, even if it takes several months or so.  

@Bubba McCantsWe have clients in the Reno Tahoe, NV area that are taking a bit of hit on the cash flow because of the above average appreciation growth boosted by tech jobs and people moving from CA.

You won't hit everything on your list but know exactly what you want and don't want.
