I will follow your suggestion to find an active local agent and see if he/her can provide 3 commercial developers. 

But you gotta be on the ground.Great on paper and some years you might get 15% returns and next year -15% returns.Plus, there is no true value in such areas as homes sell for $1,000 and others to unsuspecting out of state buyers for $60,000 where the provider makes a $20,000+ margin.Then it goes vacant, vandalized and back to a $1,000 houseLooks for areas with a more consistent sales value where homeowners also live and not just investor owned.B class in my eyes is:1) Close to infrastructure like schools, hospitals, shopping mall, larger employer, etc...2) Mix of homeowners and investor owned (leaning toward more homeowners).3) Well kept yards and no boarded up homes.

If it involves any need to extend the line or relocate a connection etc, then no it's not reasonable and I'd expect to hire someone to do it...ideally the service provider's crew. 

Aim for 15% of purchase price in yearly revenue6) if you don't purchase turn-key, come up with a furnishing plan7) get pro-photos, find a good cleaner, either via Turno or preferably by talking to locals8) a lot of youtube videos will overcomplicate the start (launch of 5 platforms, build a direct booking site, get the worlds best smart lock, automate all sorts of messages, connect to dynamic pricing, etc.)  

Also, you had better maintain the LLC properly or it provides no real asset protection.If properly managed, an LLC can provide more asset protection, but your first line of defense will be managing your property well and the second line of defense is good insurance.If I were Jeff Bezos, I would not put a property in my name because it would be a lawsuit target. 

Your CAP rate will be dangerously inaccurate if you calculate expenses incorrectly so let's break those down.Utility Set-up- As an overview you need to know the difference  between city-provided utilities and onsite such as Septic Tanks with Leech fields, lagoons, Wells, EtcGetting more specific what utilities are maintained by the community, paid by the community vs the tenants.I will give you a quick example, I own a park with a bunch of multifamily manufactured units of which I pay the electricity bill.

Could anyone offer insight on DSCR loans and/or provide any reputable lenders?

This is despite the existence of listing platforms, off-market deal finding tools, and even our own investor friendly agent finder.   

I have a solid amount of capital to invest and am looking to invest remotely in the Midwest or South in places that will provide a net income and, of course, ideally also provide at least a minimal amount of appreciation, but I'm definitely leaning more toward the cash flow model given that I'm an older investor. 

I recommend listing on two platforms and to hit the ground running.
