or, at least would like the option?   

Here's a little background on Tenant situation...has 2 or 3 young kids, an adult sister, an aunt with her male friend and the lessee has a male friend, that all appears to live in the apartment but aren't on the lease.

As mentioned above it depends on your goals as well as what each options provides you. 

Have a clear budget and stick to it.

Not to mention the idea of my “business†relying on my friends and family also being suckered into signing up is just appalling.

RentRedi has options of "Accept", "Reject", and "Request Update (more information)".

However, an easier option would be to use a bridge loan to help with acquisition and rehab financing if the property needs some work.

Would that be a viable option?

I have friend who has a running joke that I cannot even get on one.

I recently came across domus.pro, where you can upload a property photo, choose a camera movement, and generate a video for around $0.30 per clip, with 4K options too.
