Quote from @Bryan Christopher: Quote from @Russell Brazil: I'd simply ignore them. 

What I don’t understand, and help me on this, is why someone would simply want to purchase the Mortgage/DOT without the note. 

You can simply request a separate check for the $100 increase to bring the total deposit in line with the new rent amount.

Ask them how well they know the neighborhoods in your target market.It all boils down to their experience working with out of state investors.

Like you we had 3 teams of two door knockers  2 for safety one women one man.. and we door knocked every NOD in our 2 mil MSA  all to boil it down to if we were very lucky to get 2 to 3 deals a month.. now we were a little different I only would buy very high equity deals.. and we leased back .. because as you state 99% don't want to leave.. 

This will simply causes prices to be even higher, and continue to constrict demand... 

Far more costly to transfer property at a later point than simply purchase in an LLC on day one.

The statement above simply doesn't make any sense.

I see 3-5 as a fad.Fractional ownership - way to much overhead for these to be profitable. think "timeshare".STR in non traditional markets - running a STR is a business and real estate, boils down to location location location - who would want to go to a conference and stay in a STR vs. the hotel where the conference is at, most businesses pay for this I do not see why.Mixed use with green - this has been going on for years- it will continue but it is also more expensive to build - which means higher costs to use.Not trying to be debbie downer, I have seen these attempted to be done in the past and they really have not been successful.I do really like the BTR model though as I continue to see that as a very good option in the future. 

Denver is very expensive for a new guy who doesn't have loads of capital so a market like Missouri for example is intriguing for far cheaper real estate but then Id either have to move, improve the property remotely or simply buy and hold as a rental for X time.
