I am curious to hear what other thoughts are on this compared to working with a broker-dealer / advisor who invests in alternatives?

Hi All, would love your thoughts ~A set of 2 large clawfoot tubs as an alternative to traditional hot tub, with running hot + cold water spigot attached, hot springs style.

I'm not sure I'm understanding - you really don't "lose" out on any potential equity by not paying down principal - the general question should be about your best alternative use of your capital (opportunity cost) - that would otherwise be in your pocket/investable 

     - but a service provider that acts as an alternative for all the things you'd normally get from a mortgage company2.

If you feel any team members aren’t a good fit, you can always seek alternatives.

Some cities in MI have this but there is always the alternative that if you do not live within X distance you need a local rep/manager or person for them to know about and be able to call.  

Alternately, if you want to manage it as a short-term rental, you could look at that.

Hi Rose, I would suggest an alternative for future use that will not impact your credit.

If not there are alternative ways to qualify with no FICO.

The city council is faced with a tough decision; make the emergency rent control permanent or not, or implement alternative strategies.
