Rental property characteristics can vary dramatically from street to street. 

Any attempt to expand or change this market would likely need to address these structural characteristics. 

The funds may feel safe, but they are likely not as safe as doing your own work.My fictional, perfect fund would have characteristics like the following: - Double digit simple interest yield.- Uses no or very, very little fund leverage (LOC for less than 20% of fund equity)- Lends in one specific location/region that fund managers have deep operational experience in and which has speedy foreclosure laws. - Multiple unrelated fund mangers with deep experience (so one can't get hit by a bus)- Lends at conservative LTVs, stage-gates release of funds based on project milestones.- All loans are in first position, with senior rights.- Lends only to experienced borrowers- Has good liquidity - 1 year lockup or lessThe problem is that no fund meets all of these criteria.

Two new characteristics of the market that for me seem to be wild cards are  1)  REITS that buy and hold SFRS, and 2) Foreign (mostly Chinese) money buying properties.  

Why are they staying a few months and what characteristics/features are they looking for in a rental?

No person shall, in trade, in connection with the sale or grant or possible sale or grant of an interest in land or with the promotion by any means of the sale or grant of an interest in land, -Make a false or misleading representation concerning the nature of the interest in the land, the price payable for the land, the location of the land, the characteristics of the land, the use to which the land is capable of being put or may lawfully be put, or the existence or availability of facilities associated with the land.”not qualified having the ability to pay as agreed is also predatory lending, you can get shot from that as well as Dodd-Frank, so exempt or not, follow the mortgage origination requirements. :) 

I know there are many homes in my neighborhood that have similar characteristics as mine for example, sqft, single story and build year.

Currently the USPS uses a USA flag for the Standard and a star burst for the First Class.The three characteristic differences from a standard and first class hard stamp is that a First Class doesn't require return address where standard does.

Being considered a deal is dependent upon EACH transaction and the characteristics of said transaction.
