Sent you a request–– here to help, discuss the market, etc. any time. 

I would hop that these interest rates are the highest that we will see in the next ten years but you never know where the market will go. 

The same money could buy 1-2 full properties that would rent for more, depending on the market you choose. 

I own 4 STRs in Indy and have looked into the Nashville, IN market.

I suspect most who requested cash for keys had previously received cash for keys.What I do instead is explain:- the housing shortage in my market and that an eviction will forever make it difficult to find a quality rental in this market. - I will ding their credit such that all credit cards and other debt will cost them more.- I will keep their security deposit for funds owed.- I will do my best to garnish future wages until their debt to me is paid in full.This has worked 100% time so far.
