Most seller's in a sub-to don't understand the risk they are taking and most lenders have concerns over the overall portfolio quality ratings which has an impact on their cost of funds.

Always buy the best quality property you can afford.

@Tayvion Payton here's some useful info:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

To reiterate, I don't need huge profit margins off these and I do want to offer quality rentals but they do need to make sense.  

This isn’t about chasing high-growth markets; it’s about addressing systemic issues that impact quality of life and economic stability.

•Tenants demand prompt, high-quality service and without caring about cost •Vendors seek to earn as much compensation for their work as possible.Balancing these needs requires thoughtful stewardship, strong communication, and a commitment to fairness.

Every customer is assigned to a group of team members there and I imagine each team varies slightly in quality given the human element!
