I say that SFR's reduced by 50%, more around then teens %. 

I rent to some all the time (have one now) but I aim more for older, permanent, year round resident students than the traditional leave for summer teen or early 20 something. 

j/k  I have teens and those were so 4 years ago Of all your well thought-out choices, RE is still the one for me of you can get it. 

My parents spent their Summers and weekends there in their teens-mid to late 1940's.It is a nice small town atmosphere. 

So many teens nowadays don't really understand what credit is and thus get themselves into trouble. 

The first one began in October and was quickly leased - lots of applicants and we took the best one.She was a single mom with older teens - no problems except that her mom contracted cancer so she had to move away after 6 months to take care of mom. 

My IRR target depends on a lot of factors and how risky the deal is -e.g. how comfortable I am with the pro-forma numbers, whether I am ahead or behind other lenders, the partner I am working with, etc - but anything that is not at least in the low-mid teens ( with my own estimates) makes me think hard.

Mom of two extremely busy teens, full time worker, owner of 3 rentals and looking to expand more into real estate, but currently not sure what exactly. 

The spread isn't enough and you need to be in the high mid teens on cap to make it worth your while or something where you can force appreciation and flip it out to someone else to hold long term after you have owned it 1 year.

We have seriously affordable houses (anywhere from low teens and up) and returns well into the 20 percents!
