If you are doing multiple renters to one shared roof, then do yourself, your investing dreams, and your renters a MASSIVE FAVOR by learning & implementing coliving property management. 

If the property has multiple meters they're most likely going to see it as an investment property and I think you're going to  be hard pressed to find one doing 5% down.

They've done multiple video preentations of their company.I'm surprised though that there is a complete dearth of reviews, articles, comments about them except for their own maketing material.Did either of you go with them? 

Therefore, we can be manipulated or our judgement can be affected by anything that happened during the day.It's called social engineering and it has multiple variants.

I'm absolutely not interested in leasing fast at all and I'm extremely picky about tenants and I do things like require a large security deposit (even for section 8 renters, I have three of them and love them), don't supply appliances, take my time doing background checks and arranging multiple calls/meetings with potential tenants. 

I have tons of clients doing this with multiple homes now.

I cold emailed and called the owner multiple times and eventually we connected, met in person and made a deal over the course of a few months.How did you finance this deal?

Perhaps the SFR market is overvalued now and 1% rule is just a simple valuation tool like a P/E multiple in equities telling people to stay clear.       

If the tenant does not keep the basement clean to an extent that it might be attract mice.The contract does not have any explicit language stating "Failure to do so will results in penalties or such and such...".I dislike sending multiple reminders.

However, I received some feedback from one of my partners that the play here would be for an investor to subdivide or re plat the land for a multiple tenant situation.
