The lot/home rent ratio is decreasing and I think that trend will continue as lenders in our area become more sophisticated and force this model more.

I caution on some Midwest towns because their populations have been decreasing year over year so the appreciation isn’t there which is a key wealth building component of real estate.

Through commission to your Corp, you might be able to decrease your self employment taxes.That statement has many assumptions built into it.

@Mark Welp I don't think most conventional 30 year prime residential loans are callable based on decreased equity but I don't know about sub-prime or other types of loans- I only know about the limited types of loans I actually hold.

The nice thing about owning your own home, and having it paid for, when you retire is that expense decreases a lot.Do they have enough saved that they could take some of that money and invest it in a rental? 

Partnering with other investors may make it easier to scale your portfolio, it may also decrease your income.

It really depends, but a general rule of thumb is that if a borrower is current, it significantly decreases the possibility of a settlement.This can be said for basically any debt settlement attempt ( mortgage settlement, credit card, professional services, etc. )
