A big advantage of renting room to room is that its rare for all the rooms to be vacant at once so your exposure is lower.Good Luck,Mark Villanueva  

Quote from @Mark Cruse: Is the person leaving?

Investors in your position can perform a fast rehab and in as little as 90 days refinance out of the interest only fix and flip loan and into a DSCR loan, 30 yr fixed product in the 7-8% range - cash out is available up to 75% of the appraised value at the 90 day mark.

Their plan is to sell each property around the 5 year mark.

I just expect my mark to market on all my houses to be flat to +/- 5%. 

I recently saw a post from Anthony Walker asking experienced real estate professionals and those newer to the business about gaining a competitive advantage and it got me thinking about what competitive advantages a real estate private equity firm can attain in their business.

@Mark S.Totally agree people should own real estate in and out of a retirement account for that exact reason.
