In the end, the vast majority of people are decent and just looking for a comfortable, safe & clean place to live. 

The vast majority of US real estate is selling for far below it's replacement cost.

You are finding out the opinions and knowledge here are vast and valuable.

We invest here for the cash-on-cash return which for the vast majority of our properties is infinite since we were able to BRRRR all of our money out of the deals.  

@Eva C.Just as @Zach Lemaster mentioned, every time we receive an inspection report we provide a list of fixes we would like done to the RTR team, and they have been very good to be able to work with the local teams to accomplish the vast majority of everything we ask for assuming it's something that needs to be done.  

Just to build on what you wrote, many OOS investors don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That all of these Classes are usually vastly different than the local market they live in.7) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage9) Class B usually also okay, but needs more attention from owner and/or PMC10) Class C can be relatively successful with enough attention from owner and/or PMC (do NOT hire the cheapest!)

But the area is vast and for example being on the east side of Kensington Ave is very different then the west side.

Quote from @Guillermo Sanchez: Hey, I invested back in July in array apartments fund.

Every market is a bit different, but sticking to what you would be desiring as a guest is more certain to hit than going based strictly off value.I find it ironic how vast the differences are between STR and LTR. 

It is like calling all wealthy people greedy, when in fact the vast majority of charity donations come from wealthy people.
