This would allow ideal landlords, who may often not be recognized, to demonstrate themselves based on past tenant experiences, by means of the company creating a profile on behalf of the tenant, and also would give good tenants a positive history that they could take with them as they are considering their next place to rent, plus distinguishing themselves from other tenants.

Maybe it's the newbie investor not conducting the due diligence or worse, not educating oneself to see those red flag deals.Unfortunately, this is not what seasoned investors are searching for who are typically flippers.Now with that said, there are investors who may exceed +/- the 70% rule.

Property rights is one thing that distinguishes us from communism. 

I think its important to distinguish the longevity of an automobile (how many years or miles it lasts) vs. cost of ownership.A GMC/Chevy Suburban always shows up on the lists "highest percentage of vehicles still on the road with over 200k miles".

I am not interested in selling, but if I were, the returns would go from over 25% to something astronomical.Really key to success is1 - make them distinguished (beautiful retro look in my case)2 - tenant screening - get people with jobs who can afford the rent and actually want to buy the place3 - choose your neighborhood wisely.4 - buy houses in close proximity so you can keep an eye on them, but also so you can improve the neighborhood over time by your own work!

This can help distinguish between areas that have an average of $100k per Apartment.

I am curious as to how they distinguish "sweat equity" in the real estate industry from, for example, having your IRA own stock in the company that you work at.Whether I work at a company the size of walmart or a 3 employee, family-owned C corp, it stands that I would be doing "work" to increase the value of that entity.

Those 4 options listed on the post mean nothing compared to investing in oneself.

Don't pass up this "opportunity".Tough love part...college and fully supporting oneself is not an easy path but it's also not unusual.
