If you could change some legislation or tax loophole that incentivised the landowner to give away more of their piece of the pie you may have better luck, but like J Scott said, i'm sure youd have no shortage of customer interested in something new, but i think you'd be short on investors chomping at the bit to build something like this.Maybe i'm being naive or missing the point, but if i'm following along correctly it seems like this is the missing ingredient in my opinion.

I'm wondering if anyone has had to deal with this firsthand from the buyer/investor end and if there are any loopholes so you can buy a home as-is. 

Is there not a loop hole that allows investors with a small number of properties to be exempt from submitting 1099s?  

@Daniel RaposoListen to the audio book "Loop holes in real estate" to get the answers you seek. 

If everything were easy than the answer to the question what is  "life, the universe, and everything would be 42" ala the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... well then as a real estate investor are there "loopholes" in real estate industry that an armchair millionaire wannabee can have to his / her advantage. 

For me, I believe good relation with my neighbors worth more than benefitting from legal loopholes: They are looking out to cover my back because they know that I would do the same for them as well.

It's unfortunate that there are so many unethical loopholes in our industry (internet marketing) and so many scumbags willing to take them.

I read Multifamily Millions by David Lindahl, I went to Lifestyles Unlimited two day workshop in Houston, I read Loopholes of RE by Garrett Sutton, and I started 1031 exchanging my pricey San Diego single family (10 condos with HOA fees that were clearly out of my control) for a 10 unit in Cleveland Heights, 8 unit in Shaker Heights, 12 unit in Euclid, 12 unit in Painesville, 15 unit in Painesville, 21 unit in Painesville.  

If they close one loophole, they will open another one. 

I would suggest for those who are lost and completely clueless pick up either "Incorporate and Grow Rich" or "Loopholes of the Rich."
