Inexperienced operators are.A 30K to 70K house is not inherently unstable.What creates instability is an operator who• buys the wrong street• uses retail-level rehab assumptions• ignores the local payment culture• underwrites like a bank instead of an operator• or treats the price point like a shortcut instead of a disciplineWhen you know how to work in this range, the dynamics change completely.Payment consistency improves.Margins widen.Predictability goes up, not down.The price point is not the risk.The risk is not understanding the game being played at that price point.Most investors avoid moderate-price deals because they assume the volatility is baked in.What they miss is that the volatility often comes from the operator, not the asset.That is the part nobody talks about.And it is why the best opportunities are usually hiding in the places most people walk right past. 

-How did you assess execution ability vs. just talking a good game?

You've got to bring your A-game in all the ways now.

Glad to have you in the game Kenneth!

My parents have flipped several houses in the last 5 or so years, but did not get into the investment real estate game till later in life.

Stick to the game, you have learned a ton in this short time, and keep going!

So I require skin in the game (average is 5% to 15%) to offset this.

It’s great to see couples getting into the game together.

I'm currently playing this game at the moment.

And you don’t need to be some flipping expert to get your first rental — you can do subject to, partnerships, house hacking, whatever gets you in the game.
