The PM has vetted this tenant and says their credit and current W2/Job does check out (over 700 scores and W2 income to support their story of being an engineer). 

That way, if something like this happens again, both you and your tenant will have extra protection and support. 

With builders offering in-house financing as low as 5.5% for investors/second home owners, and warranties on roofs and HVAC systems, I continue to support new construction as a solid choice for LTR buyers.

Having someone local who has skin in the game and experience would be valuable.

This community is full of knowledge, support, and inspiration for all experience levels.

They are a service provider - you can hire them to support a specific transaction, or not. 

I want to know how much skin they have in the game, the loan, and their track record.

Seven years ago before I met my now husband I was a struggling single mother supporting four kids on my own.

I won't be investing in the riskiest/most supportable asset subclasses such as hotels, and tilt my portfolio the ones that have historically been more stable such as multifamily and single-family housing.

Less skin in the game & delegating responsibilities such as guarantee, GP equity with less scrutinyAs an LP who can only write smaller checks, why go with the GP who falls under the larger syndication category?
