Fixed income...would container village actually be a cheaper proposition vs lets say a senior living 3-4 story apartment building for the same number of units? 

Stop with the guru sites, the videos, all that nonsense is pure crap designed to drive the lazy into highly risky investments or investment schemes that will surely see you make a little or lose a lot. 

The only risk I can think of for a landlord in this scenario is the possibility of a poor tenant but I would be mainly subleased to travel nurses that are vetted and screened by gov agencies.

so for the 50k investor suing is probably not a money making proposition your most likly not going to get attorney fee's if you litigate and win.. and lets be realistic here how long will it take to actually GET a Judgement ? 

It is also risky when you consider that if you lose, you do not get reimbursed for legal fees.If you feel that you will win rather quickly, why not represent yourself?

@Steve Morris are you assuming the risk is high based on the reward?

If you are looking for a growing market and area that you could get more "bang for your buck" with less risk. I

If you can find a lender willing to give you a 2nd mortgage it would be at a HIGHER rate because its in 2nd lien position and therefore more risky.

More likely that the document is correct, and the change to 12% was made recently. 12% seems to be middle of the road but still pretty decent, yet generally Baltimore city RE is a bit more risky than rest of MD .Lonnie Pickard

It's a tough part of STRs that some investors struggle to understand, but lending off residential assets based off how much the home can earn as an STR is far too risky.
