I typically don't comment on other's businesses unless I know from personal experience.

One-person rental units are in the highest demand, and co-living directly appeals to this market.

You could give them a thousand bad reviews, if they are the only person in town offering a specific type of product, people will still do business with them.

Tell me - someone selling their home to your son, Subject-To - is this a person who has made good life choices? 

Be that person who set's up some STR's there, runs em there, and really caters it to the US "bucket list" tourist. 

It’s important to recognize that your landlord likely isn’t thinking about selling the property right now, especially given their personal circumstances.

I was thinking if I can talk to my neighbor about sharing the cost (I, the landlord, personally provide labor and my neighbor provide material (e.g. fence pickets)).

We're seriously looking to connect with individuals who are open to chatting or to working with two motivated guys who have goals of building a diverse portfolio overtime in the Pittsburgh area.Cheers,Matt

Personally, I wouldn't offer SubTo or a Wrap, For reasons I've written about fairly extensively. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/70/topics/1227199-the-m...However, I would sell on "Lease Option" and that may work for you.

Happy to chat with you
