With this approach, I can very easily vet borrowers (no newbies unless partnering with an experienced investor for example) and focus on those that meet my criteria.   

Soft spots can be remedied quickly and easily.

It can be the difference between losing money and owning a winning property.

A win for you, is a win for them, because your growth is theirs as well.

Remember if you do… The STRs that win are the ones unlike any in the local market and also give the extra bit more of appeal and experience.

They'd be a partner and help provide solutions to operational challenges when scaling, we'd bring tech in like Breezeway for scheduling, give them a company card with spend limits to buy supplies, they even ended up landing a deal with a local laundromat to wash and fold there after-hours to make their lives and ours easier.Truly a win-win. 

How could I create a win-win for the seller and myself?

I run a real estate data venture that pulls from various private and public sources and curates these reports, so it's not a simple answer.Social Sentiment: Search demand and what people are saying online.Neighborhood Class: Cleanliness, crime, graffiti, and overall health.Demographics: Identify market segments & trends.GDP & Economic Growth: County-level GDP changes to assess economic vitality.Poverty Metrics: Analyze economic challenges.Construction Activity: Easily predict market supply.Occupational Diversity: Forecast housing & commercial needs.Education Insights: Understand community stability.Real Estate Trends: Identify property value & rental cycles.Houston was just a place where I felt like sharing some knowledge.

While this sounds like a win, the number of cases where it is feasible are few and far between. 1) There is an application and approval process required by the bank for the loan to be transferred.

That's a win in my opinion and many others.
