Do you think it will affect the types of deals they pursue, or will the demand for flexible financing options like private lending continue to grow regardless?

The RentRedi does not take the human interaction aspect out of your process or transaction, but it gives you that buffer, makes it easier, organized, consistent, repeatable and professional. 

First, most investors and owners of real estate related businesses are in one or more of the following situations1- they’re unable to duplicate their expertise that drives the ROI and they are at their personal max capacity as to time2- they’re obtaining high ROI by use of excessive leverage 3 - they’re obtaining high ROI by taking excessive risk4- they hit correct timing in the correct market, and this is not necessarily repeatable with any probabilityIn order for an investment or business to scale, we need the ROI (on a risk adjusted basis) to be sufficient to cover a PREMIUM risk adjusted return to passive investors; all expenses of managing the assets and the business, and a significant return to the “sponsor” providing compensation to him making the work, risk and time worth while. 

It’s only ~$5-$10 per property analysis, and you can adjust the amenities for the area to see how that affects the revenue estimate.

They'll moisture meter everything affected to see if it needs to be removed or can stay.

Rinse and repeat.

Here's a quick breakdown:Unforeseen Property Issues: Hidden damage, bad tenants, major repairs – these can eat into profits.Vacancy Woes: Empty units mean lost income, impacting cash flow.Market Downturns: Property values can drop, affecting your investment's performance. 

I also agree that RE appreciation is unlikely to match the last dozen years, but you never know.Where I am unsure we agree is that paying $450k to improve the cash flow ~$3k (your numbers but I expect my delta wold be similar meaning both my cash flow estimates would be worse than yours but both would be worse by the same amount not affecting the difference) makes sense especially if the cost of having the extra $450k is only 6% rate which is historically simple to beat via numerous investment options and hopefully no one is investing in RE for an expected of 6%.  

Do that every 2+ years, sell tax free, repeat, and you can be set for life ("live in flips"). 

Markets, geoglobal conflicts, recession, inflation, jobs can all affect that but time will tell.
