So far, the candidates he has presented have been pre-vetted (to a point) which eases my workload sufficiently to justify his piece of the returns.I am also looking at the tax implications to me of investing in notes in the U.S.A. and how best to go about that endeavour.

Many reasons most common would be1) ease of financing new properties2) accelerated property acquisition due to income from a job and positive cash flow3) Benefits from a job i.e. health insurance4) some people are just more comfortable with having that W-2 security.

Of course I qualify everything but while I'm talking about their pet, kids and nearby schools, I'm looking for repairs and the added value.Then when I'm ready to submit my "Ultra-Conservative" offer, I meet them again and now they will be much more at ease and comfortable and it works magic.

@John Chapman I agree, I think the ease of the process is also well-known by some tenants which helps motivate them to stay on-time to payments, etc.I also learned something interesting the other day that is somewhat related...

This can help ease that main road feel.I'd try to lease as they sit today (or as close as I could get away with), stabilize, and get a feel for the market.

I think you getting legal counsel on this to put your mind at ease is a good idea.

Everyone is different, but for me that helped ease my fears a bit.
