.: Thanks for the replies I totally understand you can not eliminate risk 100%I was just wondering if there was a safer way to handle this. 

Are you asking for a lender for the lady selling her home?  

There are many people on instagram and other platforms selling courses appearing in a certain image, selling a lifestyle that is not 100% congruent with reality and sometimes reality can strike hard and shatter perceived illusions. 

.: How about this one: “Can I sell my Airbnb property for 50% over direct comps because I want to use the income-based approach valuation?”

Luckily I was able to sell.

If the prop 13 benefit vanished tomorrow, I would analyze whether I should sell.  

I have an off market 12 unit on the coast and a 25+ unit Oceanfront in Bandon that would also consider selling..Lastly there is an 80+ unit coastal motel I have my eyes on.

I may not be the most polished investor but I'm also not going to try and sell you on anything either haha.

They just looking to bleed the investors so they are forced to sell.

The reason sellers cannot sell these properties through the traditional market is often due to certain issues, and 98% of the time, these issues are not beneficial to you as a buyer.
