Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) commercial investment investment.

I don't think the typical sub-to deal would lead to equity skimming because they are likely close to foreclosure and there isn't enough time to rent the unit back out and make money allowing the unit to go to foreclosure.

The unit is within blocks of Harvard University and a billion other universities are within a few miles.

So, landlords of exempt units don't even have to be concerned at all.   

I haven't booked anyone from FF this past year, but I might keep one unit open to keep the conversation open.

I'm not in that market so I can't speak specifically to it, but to me the deciding factor would be what the surrounding units and area has. 

@Jed Butikofer You need to find a market that has decent cash flow (think $200/unit/month) and become an EXPERT on that location.

Live in one and rent the other units out!

.- Tell them they have to provide documentation of the animals service / emotional support (as allowed by your local ordinances), and that they have to provide documentation that the animal is current with its inoculations, etc. as well as its local license before you'll permit the animal in the unit.- Tell them they'll have to provide you with a copy of their renter's insurance naming you as additional named insured, with a minimum of (I use $300,000) liability insurance, also before they move into the unit.It's not perfect, but it's a start toward a tenant transparency.

Eventually the park gets heavier and heavier with POH units.
