To borrow a page from Gena’s book, “Escape the Madness”, there are four fundamentals in your philosophy:DETERMINE YOUR RISK TOLERANCE.BUILD ON WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW.CLEARLY DEFINE YOUR EXPECTED RATE OF RETURN AND WHAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY RECEIVING ON YOUR INVESTMENTS.QUANTIFY YOUR REASONABLE DISCRETIONARY CAPITAL.We’ve all heard this, and it’s generally true in investing: Higher risk, higher return.

Chris NA all you need to do is explore a market you're familiar with in the Bay Area with the correct fundamentals: jobs, high-income earners, attractive school districts, growing population ect.,  buy one of the lower-end homes in the area and put some money and sweat equity into it to make it a winner! 

But the underlying assets remain the same, and the fundamentals of those assets do not change whether they are held by a public or private entity.In regards to the liquidity premium, I agree.  

Keep in mind rent to price is one factor, for long-term holds other fundamental factors come into play.

There is a fundamental TRUST issue that you have to have in place to make your arrangement work.  

@Mohit Madaan there are lots of unknowns in your scenario to be able to give a definitive answer but the basic fundamentals of property investing might help get you started.

This is why people like me don't respond to certain queries - those who don't treat this as a business have broken fundamentals, while those who do (and have common sense) are worth talking to.I sometimes participate on here (this forum) when I have leisure time and get tired of reading poor advice (of which there is plenty) from inexperienced people dispensing their wisdom (especially questions about LLCs and land trusts) or gurus screwing others over (I was instrumental - as documented on here by the victim - in their recovery of tens of thousands of dollars).  

But if the fundamentals of your investment are strong, I'd imagine you'll be able to weather this storm.
