I think that meeting with him and doing everything in person should alleviate lots of that fear though.

Housing shortage is a big factor and new build's won't alleviate that pressure anytime soon.The barrier to entry will be a bit higher over here with median single family homes hovering around 500K but with 10-12% YoY appreciation would you prefer a lower cost asset that puts 250 per month in your pocket?

I'm sure there would be some cost efficiencies if you went to the same modular builder for all 20 duplexes.This may help alleviate the pain of having to pay market price for land and/or the finished parts of the construction.  

I routinely use PTD's for other contractual purposes to reduce my risk, however.I'm not in the habit of using AITD wraps however Jay Hinrich's post might be the cleanest way to alleviate a seller's concerns.

In addition, to be able to simply adjust it by $500 makes it look as if they alleviated costs in one area but added it to the appraisal.  

Same situation really.Further, if a prospective tenant were to only speak with references you provided, that's hardly going to alleviate any concerns they have since one would expect you would only provide favorable references.I don't understand your karma comment...is that in reference to the prospective tenants?
