Should we pursue a "cheap" rental in order to build rental history in the hopes of securing DSCR loans down the road? 

The market has shifted a lot in the last two years with rising interest rates, changing rental demand, and shifting economic conditions.

@Andrae S Wiggins recommend you upgrade your BP membership to Pro to access the BP Calculators to evaluate rental purchases.Play with the numbers to figure out the purchase price that gives you your target ROI.That's the number you'll need to make an offer at, NOT what the seller is asking.Yes, you will get a lot of rejects, but whoever said investing was easy?

SFH rentals?

Quote from @Bree Jimenez: Hello everyone, my name is Bree I am a new investor looking into get my first rental property and try the BRRR method what tips and advice does anyone have when getting your first rental property?

Option A would allow me to keep it as a long term rental .

Make sure to factor in insurance (slight change as rental), property tax (in our market is 2x a primary res), vacancy (3-5% in most markets), capex (old roof?)

I use Facebook marketplace as my way of marketing my rentals.

I would recommend what is your plan and strategies too on the rental.
