Land seems to be a better fit for someone like me just starting out with very little in the way of capital. 

There is no magic bullet or one size shoe fits all.

Plus, you want your lease agreement to fit your business model, help you to reduce costs, provide for compensation from the tenant for administrative burdens imposed on you by tenant acts or omissions, provide for procedures tenant need to take for maintenance and other tenancy issues, etc.

Maybe you can adjust that model as you see fit...get rid of receptionist. 

I cleared most of our portfolio over a few years because they didn't fit where I am going.

Though VS is getting better and better there is always some goofy angles and perspectives that distort dimensions of rooms and what actually fits in the space.3.

If you have 4 college students in a 5 bedroom house with a reasonable driveway that can fit 4 cars and they don’t throw parties all the time you will probably be ok.

Figure out what your exit strategy is first, and then make sure it fits for your partner to cash out and move on. 

I'm done rental comps through Zillow, FB Marketplace and here on BP and it seems we could get between $1900-2500 for our SFH so we thought we would start on the high end and see what happens.I can't find the KPI test online but I've done the MBTI (on the Shorewest site) and the DISC personality quizzes and I feel encouraged that my skills and personality will be a good fit but of course also very curious to give it a try and see how I do in the long run, maybe I will be exposed to other roles that would fit as well.

And when look at all things on Straw-buyer, it fit's that mold perfectly EXCEPT it's on conveyance and not origination.
