I am the Vice President of OmniKey Realty, and I would highly recommend scheduling a tour with my investment team if you haven't already done so.

I had no idea how hard it was on the back end until I was there.

Do builders hike their inventory home prices and then give a "discount" at year end? 

These buyers are playing the long game—betting on rising property values and rents, which offsets initial breakeven or negative cash flow.If you’re starting out, I strongly recommend focusing on single-family homes in neighborhoods at the high end of the "low-end market" spectrum.

Some don't like the idea of a 2nd position lien that is very small and very high on interest rate. 

Hey Rebecca, I'm a broker and investor up in Sacramento and manage about 100 investment properties (STR and LTR).Many of my clients are high W2 earners seeking "bonus depreciation" to offset tax liability by investing in STR.

Quote from @Vikas Jain: Yes, I have already seen the buy-in, im less concerned about that part of it, but just want to make sure its legitimate (plenty of opportunities where buyin is high but it doesn't always mean the product is good, just been burned in the past by others so trying to do better due diligence this time around)Their success rate, as of now, is 100 percent.

How does the middleman (investor) exit out of the sandwich lease option once the investor finds an end buyer to close on the original purchase price between investor and seller?

Think I better clarify - this isn't an altruistic attempt to help VRBO 😄, but rather a hope that it might result in a higher overall booking rate if both platforms perform at a high level
