Assuming it is legitimate, the subject-to model can help you save money on taxes and get you a nice monthly check.

Even if we use a more modest 2% (inflation) appreciation model, you end up with $1.9 million, which is a $100k "loss" versus a $1.9 million loss.Of course there's lots of other factors - can you stay there for 30 years?

This is an opportunity to confirm they have the expertise you need.

That would be unlikely unless you have some sort of domain expertise that would cause you to get an outsized return.

Figure out your unfair advantage and develop some subject matter expertise.

Hi Bigger Pockets Family,I need your expertise.

You may still take important efforts to expand your expertise and knowledge in the real estate market, even when your age may prevent you from engaging in some activities.

Already, good operators are buying broken deals at very smart levels, if their track record proves their worth, leveraging their expertise is what you are investing in.How about stretching and doing both?

The hourly ones have expected completion times based on sqft and bedroom/bath sizes so they really cannot take too much of an advantage, and even if they did we are covered by cleaning fee (all of this has been factored in already).Most hotels staff in house to the point of their lowest occupancy months and bring in contractors at times of higher occupancy, so we are trying to follow this model somewhat.

I feel like the contracts are more balanced and fair now, but deals are getting done.If your model is using Big Z data, I would not trust that for a second.
