Each group will have their own policies - some will pair you up with a mentor, others will put you on a team, others will let you fend for yourself. 

That's a major positive for anyone with a sub pair credit score who is unable to qualify for a conventional loan. 

I have also shown the house to two sets of candidates, one pair of couples with two dogs and one single mom (with a very good income) and her two sons.

I've personally paired back so only my best performing properties are STR, as well as my personal home if I'm traveling.2.

I understand pairing this with other services, regular professional photography, etc may be a more comprehensive business plan.

The last pair of guys I dealt with tried to talk me into letting them find tenant in a 2 year lease to own deal. 

Please reach out if you need extra pair of hands and have a current project going on in around Redmond,Wa area.

@Moises R Cosme you have some excellent points and those are why I usually avoid getting involved with residential condos myself.However @Carrie Benoit was asking about retail condos so they are meant to be leased to small businesses and the comparison to SFs or MFs isn't really a good one.Basically, these are the small-medium size store fronts you often see at the ground level of busy foot-traffic areas.At this point (in the pandemic) it's much more about whether you think retail is a good risk or not, since we don't really know what foot traffic is going to be like, whether we'll have another lock down, etc.I don't have any direct experience with retail condos though I have run across them a few times in my travels.

@Ryan Guffey the balance of working a full time job and pairing it with REI is a balance.Don't know how much time you have in a waking day but it's a tricky balance.

You likely won't be able to pair a HML with a traditional mortgage.
