@Brian Larson Kudos to you for thinking outside of the box and problem solving a housing need. 

Have you reached out to Stessa via chat-box?

I have some relatives that will never leave the safety net of a job  or even invest in RE due to the not thinking outside of the box (or cubicle).

This is where you need to just start thinking outside the box.

Median home values are $170K range, Median rental income $1,275, YoY home value growth 7%, YoY rent growth 7.93%, Rent/price ratio .74%, Population 117K.I also have my eyes on Watertown, NY; Warren Robins, GA; Gulfport, MS; Knoxville, TN, Rocky Mount, NC & parts of OK.There are plenty of options out there --- hope you find something that fits your buy box!

I made the same recommendation, if they were to dip into EC from OOS, that would be the only place that would potentially fit their buy box.

Of course, I’m a bit biased, but Branson, MO, checks a lot of those boxes.

Think outside the box. 

We help our clients do exactly that — evaluate properties objectively, stick to their buy box, and make sure every deal fits their long-term goals.If you'd like to see how we structure our analysis or want to review a few sample deals, we’re happy to share insights.

Yes, most large traditional lenders only focus on 1-4 units and other properties that fit into a box.
