If you go through RTR, I would ask to see the employment and rental history of potential tenants so you can weigh in.

And potential downmarket investment standpoint. 3.  

The best thing we have seen work is to simply tell the potential members that Co-living is not for everyone up front. 

The process was simple, we used Upwork and Fiverr to find 3-4 potential editors.

I've heard there can be challenges with inspections and paperwork delays, so I want to get a better sense of what to expect and how to navigate those potential hurdles.

If the owner financing terms are flexible, what would make this potential purchase more favorable on my end?

Using a loan lets you spread your money across more deals, scale faster, and potentially see bigger returns.

Personally I would rather finance it and keep the cash in hand to go buy more properties than pay the full amount out of pocket, regardless of the potential tax benefits.

Also, Investors need to be prepared for and understand if there are additional costs that come with foreclosures, such as water bills, and potential fines for property upkeep.

There are also some exceptions to convince the underwriters to use leases if there were major repairs for that house/unit proving that the schedule E numbers are not showing the full potential return, then you would be able to use the leases as an exception.
