Prices in relation to rent are too high to have the cushion that was available before. 

I have an off market opportunity. 30 pad trailer park, only 19 trailers currently on-site 17 with MTM tenants. Rent roll was ~$8K last month. They are looking to get $500K for the park. 16 of the 19 trailers are park ...

I suspect most who requested cash for keys had previously received cash for keys.What I do instead is explain:- the housing shortage in my market and that an eviction will forever make it difficult to find a quality rental in this market. - I will ding their credit such that all credit cards and other debt will cost them more.- I will keep their security deposit for funds owed.- I will do my best to garnish future wages until their debt to me is paid in full.This has worked 100% time so far.  

If you think you can find a higher quality tenant, then that is a different conversation entirely. 

Look at what high interest credit cards you can get rid of, pay down, or move to zero interest promotion cards for say 15 months etc.

No syndication experience but there are about a dozen quality RV/Mobile home parks on market in Oregon, several with owner carry options that can be passiv-ish with management in place.

Try to screen for a higher quality tenant next time.

(Assuming quality of service doesn’t decrease.)No matter how you look at it, that is a ton of money.

As you already know, the quality of the investor agent will speed up your learning curve, and save you money, time, and headaches. 

We charge 10% and we pride ourselves on quality service.
