Low cap rate, low CoC return, expenses seem artificially low (5% management?)

Houses were in possession of banks artificially lowering supply. 

This difference in cash flow is artificial as you have higher debt or you've put more of your money into the deal to make the cash flow higher.Also if you are talking years to pay back $3300, it means you don't have a lot of money in reserves-what if something happens to either your house or the rental-do you have to borrow money to fix it? 

You may refinance to get your money back after but the process will not allow time for conventional lendingThe starting bid is artificially low to spur bidding. virtually every auction will have a reserve price and often houses that dont meet reserve will be put to auction several time before a actual sale.Many of these houses are in default due to money hardships which will also generally mean deferred maintenance and possibly worse. 

voiced the idea that they could just shut off the flow of medicines like antibiotics to the USA and we'd be in deep trouble. 

As @Natalie Schanne mentioned, I'm guessing they might utilize the Opendoor/Offerpad model offering artificially high prices minus large fees/seller concessions. 

It certainly will matter going forward as the artificial stimulus goes away.

We renovated the heck out of it-brand new carpet, new porcelain tile and laminate flooring downstairs, epoxied the garage floor, new countertops, sink, pull down faucet, glass backsplash, new paint entire house, all new baseboards, added crown molding, and artificial turf and hard scaping front and back yard.

Rates have been artificially manipulated lower with the Fed's QE1 and QE2 bond buying.

I also look up the county records to make sure there's not a senior discount in effect or other discount creating an artificially low tax.
