@Michael Carbonare The rent to own strategy has been good to our business model as a long term buy and hold investors. 

I can run and model numbers and am a CPA so comfortable with the finance side of things.

Eventually the masses will catch on and then the model is tougher to continue to do. 

They both had good intentions and I have personally seen the inner workings of the business in attempting the "Done for you" model.

I'd really vet the developer, their past projects, talk to prior partners (GP & LP) to see how prior development deals worked out and how the communication was, etc.

From here you could decide if you want to stay on the passive side of things as an LP, or if you want to begin raising capital for your own deals / funds based on your track record of investing with other experienced operators and being part of the masterminds that you're in.

WE create value so different bizz model and my capital partners ( I provide the capital) have done equally well in value add.. in my mind what slowed was the vanilla rental real estate bizz.. we all know that rates rose higher than rent.. so cash flow got squeezed ..

There are many reasons why I haven't pursued the arbitrage model, but mainly that it takes too long for the ROI after investing all your time and effort into buying furniture and renting and paying utilities.Let's say you rent an apartment for $1500 and you spend $7000 to furnished it.

The SMARTEST thing I did...was follow a "who" not a brand or company or model or some "thing". 

I’ve even priced several models from different manufactures and found what I think would be the perfect piece of land to where if I could get the funding my bigger plan was to divide about half the acreage into 8 or 9 parcels which would be enough to pay back the investors/loan and then take the other half of the acreage and place tiny homes around each on their own couple acres.
