In your quote above, you said that the cost segmentation analysis would be beneficial for properties that you deem to hold for the long hold period. 

Remember there are wholealers of all property types and segments within the REI world.

Actually, in those communities most care and want normal lives but they are held hostage to that small segment who destroys it for all.

Millennials, which constitute the largest segment of the US population today, are diving into the 1st time real estate market at record pace.

Just like with any tenant segment, there is good and bad people. 

In the greater Chicagoland homebuyer segment of the market, we're beginning to see inventory build at the lower-middle end and DOM increase.

That's such a short sighted reason to get an airbnb in a highly volatile hospitality segment.

If your holding period is 20+ years, the difference may be several roofs, HVAC, updates to keep them marketable and neighborhoods depreciating in value (or not appreciating as fast).I suggest you find the best market and the best units that meet the forecasted need in the community, but at the middle or upper end of that segment assuming better condition and less maintenance.Rules, such as the 2%, 50% are good for evaluations to estimate properties, but they may not ring true for a particular property, some will be better and some won't meet those guidlines yet they can out perfom over time due to location, building materials, socio-economic aspects of tenants and taxe assessments.

I think that it reaches two different segments of investors and our whole goal is to make this more accessible anyway.

I realize RE is market specific and even though nationally prices have not fallen close to enough to compensate for a doubling of the interest rate that there are markets and segment of markets that may offer opportunity.But on average, the stats show for finances properties there are less deals than a year ago (meaning payment has increased in inflation adjusted dollars).Financed equates to leverage which historically produces the best return.
