The furthest STR is 7 minutes from my home, the closest is 3.

I checked the board and the closest one is in VA Beach so far, but I’m not opposed to making that trip.  

Personally for me the closest I get to using Big data is looking at the different ways companies are packaging the information on mortgage origination reports, I like to see how investors are buying on the debt side to make the numbers work.

If you want to rent do you want current cash flow or do you want safer areas with more appreciation potential.Pigtown is the closest area to downtown that is still inexpensive but currently it is not very nice area. 

The next closest surf spot to Cambutal is Playa Venao, located about an hour away.

CapEx is included, but is considerably lower because it's a very new, excellent condition property (I considered things such as paint, appliances, flooring that would be needed while we still own the property).Purchase Price $350,000Purchase Closing Costs $1,300Total Project Cost $351,300ARV $350,000Down Payment $12,250Loan Amount $337,750Amortized for 30 yearsLoan Interest Rate 4.6%Monthly P&I $1,731.46Total Cash Needed $13,550.002% Rule 0.85%Initial Equity $12,250Monthly Income ($1500 per unit) $3,000 Monthly Expenses (Including CapEx) $2,607 Monthly Cashflow $392 Pro Forma Cap 7.28% Total Cash Needed $13,550.00Cash on Cash ROI 34.73% Purchase Cap Rate 7.28%Est Vacancy $150PMI $200Est CapEx $63Insurance $80P&I $1,731.46My only major concern is that I'm not meeting the 2% rule (and just short of 1%, even), but this is probably the closest property I've seen, and has a significant cash on cash ROI.

So have them delivered to your investment property and have your GC hang them up for you.While you're at the lowes/HD, pick out your back splash (they have some as low as $6/sq ft), flooring, appliances, counters, etc and buy them all on the same 24-month no interest deal with your cabinets but tell them you want your contractor to pick up all of these things at the lowes closest to your investment property in Ohio.

It seems to me that good and perhaps slightly desperate folks are drinking the "subject to" Kool-Aid. 

@Ivan Barratt The closest to a sales experience I've had was working retail.

https://whotv.com/2018/03/23/dallas-county-again-f...I do think we (those that are investing in DSM) need to be careful to not 'drink the cool aid' but at the same time - the original link you provided does not paint the picture that I'm used to hearing/seeing.
