I'd like to know your thoughts/advice on how to compare long-term and mid-term rentals.

That’s funny to me they compare a home that’s taking on rain from the outside inside, basements full of water all the windows broken, everything is wet and has to be re paired.

However, prices for a comparable 5-bedroom home in Washington are significantly higher, likely around $1.5M or more, which would mean taking on a new 30-year mortgage with 6+% interest rate and limiting new investment opportunities.2.

I would confirm by seeing the product then going out and checking comparables in that market that have sold. 

I've seen this in the news.This doesn't affect me because I'm small time compared to these big companies.I also don't purchase any pricing software.

I agree with others that not all the companies are created equally and I would take the time out to compare them.  

I have not had any experience with Easy Street Capital, but David Lichten resides in Gardiner, Maine and I have done many deals with him. https://kennebecrealtycapital.com/It's great to have options and compare, plus he is local!
