If it appeared that they were genuinely trying by scaling back etc.

@Zack Karp, yeah, that all sounds fine, if it's a genuine 2% lender credit on the loan amount.

@James Mayif you can house hack a house that you genuinely owner occupy, but frequently aren't in... that is a very powerful strategy, because it opens up better financing with lower down payment options, but still lets you buy and run a STR. 

I'm genuinely curious why you didn't include a single picture of the inside but from the listing I would assume it is in slum like conditions. 

Not sure if you're asking genuinely or fishing for a sub-to or seller's finance package.

Be of value, and genuinely mean it. 

You've already identified a few sites, so once I knew there is genuine interest I would leverage the broker relationships with end users to figure out the best structure for the build out and lease.

If anything, the attitudes I’ve personally encountered are people genuinely happy to be here and adapt to the ‘Idaho culture’.

I'm getting started out in rental arbitrage and wondering if there's anyplace online that's set up to connect property owners with people looking to rent out apartments to sublease.Seems like most folks getting into rental arbitrage spend quite a bit of time in reaching out to property owners and convincing them to allow subleasing in their rental contracts, meanwhile property owners pay fees to property managers and don't get the perks of having another party who has genuine interest in the well-being of their property looking after it.

Richard, I genuinely appreciate your time and efforts in providing me with all these details.
