I am interested in how savy investors handle the need for these reserves cutting into the capital needed for down payments?

I know a company in the US already did one in Austin, TX:3D-printed Austin house becomes international model"According to Icon, the printer can cut the cost of building a home by 30 to 50 percent compared to the cost of traditional construction."

Inching closer to the 7% mark, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has climbed to 6.90%, up from 6.77% last week and notably higher than the 6.50% recorded a year ago, according to Freddie Mac data.After a period of smaller rate movements offering some relief to homebuyers, recent signals from the Federal Reserve hinting at delayed rate cuts have sparked an upward trend.Sam Khater, Chief Economist at Freddie Mac, emphasizes that strong economic and inflation data are driving this shift.

I've heard that hospitals are starting to cut back on traveling nurse programs so there may start to be less demand for MTRs.

You need to "cut-your-chop's", retaining all capital possible to scale and build from 0, and also figure out if a PM biz is for you.     

If you rent it by the room, I'd also hire a cleaning person to come in every week or two and clean the common areas as well as someone to cut the lawn. 

The $200-$300 cash flow will not cut it. 

Mismanagement is not the reason but too many expenses all the time and than charging too much for little things is what is expensive, death by small cuts kind of thing.

I'd cut bait.A good HML is used to quick closings. 

also the garage .. its not impossible to find that setup but it is more rare. it pulls -$50 per car spot off the rent or -$100 with no garage. that's accounted for with the rental comp.As far as the rear access being make or break im asking you guys on that one. that's the part im not sure about. its an otherwise great deal except these cost cutting measures by the builder. i didn't notice this before walking it yesterdayIm afraid im falling in love with the numbers and these weird things with the property will attract a lessor tenant than i want to deal with and ill be stuck in a nightmare property like i hear about people falling into on accident because they thought the numbers on paper were so much better but the property was crap and nobody wanted it . that's what im afraid of i guess.i did do extensive research on this particular neighborhood so i am familiar with the stats and boots on ground type as i live pretty close about 30 min .
