It has a higher initial cost (2~3k) but less maintenance over time with a longer warranty.

I see 3-5 as a fad.Fractional ownership - way to much overhead for these to be profitable. think "timeshare".STR in non traditional markets - running a STR is a business and real estate, boils down to location location location - who would want to go to a conference and stay in a STR vs. the hotel where the conference is at, most businesses pay for this I do not see why.Mixed use with green - this has been going on for years- it will continue but it is also more expensive to build - which means higher costs to use.Not trying to be debbie downer, I have seen these attempted to be done in the past and they really have not been successful.I do really like the BTR model though as I continue to see that as a very good option in the future. 

There are always other options-hard money lenders, private lenders; but they are riskier and will likely have higher rates.

If the answer is "close enough," they move forward without much hesitation.While it's true that higher-quality tenants are easier to attract with nicer homes in better areas, I’ve managed C-class properties and had fantastic tenants.

If they would increase final price, and taking into account higher interest rates, the rents need to be much higher than initially thought to cashflow.

I am wondering what it takes to deliver a higher customer experience, equivalent to receiving a warm wash towel at a restaurant table before you eat. 

@Steven Catudalthe 'no cash flow on a BRRRR' is typically just because you are boosting the ARV and then taking out the maximum amount you can on the refinance, often using a DSCR loan with a higher rate. 

The expenses though are quite a bit higher since it is a bed and breakfast.  

@Peter Tverdov it depends on going wages in your marketplace.I would imagine labor costs are much higher in NJ than in MI.

Materials are higher due to import tariffs.
