Having watched many prior co-workers get paid, cash their check at the casino, and promptly deposit it all into a slot machine I can tell you with pretty good certainty that casinos don't have a positive effect on disposable income and good use of the existing income in the area surrounding :)Are there solid local employers OTHER than the casino in a 15-minute drive? 

Get a friend/relative/co-worker to rent a room from you?

My work is mainly with investors and I co- host a women's investing in Allentown group.

Am I correct here, or does this exception mean something else entirely?

It is clear from the interview that their main skill set is raising money and they partner with other "Co-GPs" who focus on the operations. 

Are they given a JV-co-GP position for fundraising or will they be involved in the management of the property?

@Reid Ervin Great questions—there’s a lot to unpack here, but I’ll share what I’ve learned from my own experience, especially from a flip turned BRRRR, that I partnered on last year in Longmont CO.

I had a non-performing loan once where a borrower would do a deed in lieu, but there was a deceased co-borrower, and my attorney required me to go through the foreclosure process to clear title.The borrower knows you’re foreclosing and does not contest the foreclosure and “turns over the keys” to the lender.  

Mixed-use properties that integrate residential units, co-working spaces, and retail areas with sustainable design elements are particularly appealing.
