I agree that trying to find a long term renter right now in Boston is not a fun proposition.

Under this proposition, everyone should have the same outcome in life.  

I'm trying to make light of this sinking proposition...   

So if anyone is looking for one please dont hesitate to come forth with any proposition rather hard or easy, I enjoy challenges.

You’re right about the value proposition being that you will be 100% focused on your first clients.

Truely trying get above market rent can be a losing proposition.  

But, fundamentally, this is not a risk-free proposition, as a refinance and/or sale of the asset on a specific time-line not only drives the investment returns for private money, but on the debt side is contractual to boot. 

(I also learned in that time how to actually analyze deals and found out that my LA "house hack" was going to be a very expensive proposition, funded by — and trapping me into — my day job!) 

ie, I got charged $75 to copy a key.Market rates for contractor services vary by such wide margins (Sometimes 1000%), I think the true value-add proposition for a manager is to offer those services for set affordable rates.  

The post-purchase value proposition for the investor is dividends based on how the assets perform.
