The best deal I can find today is one that you buy cash, invest a rehab and when you pull out 75% of your ARV you leave maybe a small amount of money in the deal and you break even (BEFORE DISCOUNTING FOR VACANCY, REPAIRS, etc) Yes that means you leave like 10-25k in the deal and your payment becomes $3000/m and your rent is $3000 a month or slightly less.This is for my local market and for Class B or higher RE. 

These old houses built 70-90 years ago seem to never break once I work out all the kinks.

As for other amenities, some crowd-pleasers that won't break the bank are coffee maker + starter pack of pods, basic workout equipment (yoga mat, resistance bands), phone charging stations by the beds, and basic kitchen essentials like olive oil, salt/pepper, coffee filters, etc.

Lots of new ground breaking.

I'm reaching out to Baselane's leadership to put some sense in them about good banking practices and honoring legally bound leases, that they ended by breaking through this action.

If the AI/software could break down the offer in laymen's terms for the seller, much like a listing agent does, then the product could potentially be very beneficial.
