Boots on the ground is hyperlocal, and what you're looking for is essentially cheap labor that can open a door when you need it.

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and there's amazing appreciation potential.

I think build to rent is a great option if you can get cheap enough land to make it worth it.

I like the tub (it wasn't cheap, about 12 grand) but there's not great service options where I live and not sure if I would get it again since I mostly have to take care of it. 

That will get you looking at cash flow and end up in a lower rated area than you think.

LTRs with long term conventional financing and standard management aren't really cash flowing anywhere right now. sure, there are lower cost markets that look better on paper, but there are costs associated with those supposedly cheap markets as well - deferred maintenance, more challenging tenant base, higher cost turnovers as a percentage of the rent.2. i wouldn't pick a random market thousands of miles away based solely on statistics or numbers. 

Come up with terms (Down Payment, Interest Rate, and Amortization Schedule) such as a 5% Down Payment, a 6% Interest Rate, and 30 Year Amortization Schedule.

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and it's super landlord friendly (so you will never have to go through a 12 month eviction or anything close to that!).

Memphis is a market where BRRRR is possible, but with rates going up again, it's not a great idea.

The reason we supply a couple packs is to avoid the cheap knockoffs.
