Looks pretty sweet to me!

This is the golden question.The "Sweet Spot": For scaling responsibly, I advise clients to target a 75% LTV ratio after the cash-out refinance.

Without knowing any details at all my first guess is that it isn't cheap enough for hardcore investors and yet too ugly for the average home buyer which has always been my sweet spot as a small investor.  

This to me is the sweet spot for many STR situations.

Sweet equity is great but that is more your sweat not his.

Find that sweet spot, know your limits, and juggle wisely.Remember there's no one-size-fits-all formula for success in the real estate game.

You can’t just bump the rent right away either if they’re mid-lease.What I’d do is dig into the details before you close:Ask for the lease agreement, payment history, and security deposit records.Double-check rent amounts versus market rates.If possible, meet or talk to the tenant — you’ll learn a ton from a five-minute chat.If the tenant’s clean, pays on time, and rent’s close to market — sweet, you’ve got instant income.

For those doing flips or buy-and-holds — what’s your sweet spot when it comes to loan duration?

We got robbed by a seemingly sweet old man just like Lloyd Christmas got robbed by the sweet old lady in the motor scooter in Dumb and Dumber.

You’re right though, those 2010–2019 turnkey investors hit the sweet spot with cheap inventory, low rates, and rising rents.
