Maybe the reason you disagree with the dollars is that you are comparing a cash on cash rate of return with actual dollars.

For this reason, I teach people to set policies for renting to unrelated individuals.

To save those costs, you might want to stick to some year build and older, for example, if you cannot do inspections on the properties that you are buying due to off-market deals or something else that is hindering you (all sellers I buy from do not want anyone in the home till we close).

The reason I ask is because most deals I see on Crexi or Loopnet or anywhere else create negative cash flow under 7 or even 10 year terms with 7% - 8% interest rate.
