How would you have preferred Sunrise to have developed at relationship with the residents?

I currently have around 100k tied up in sticks right now which I would prefer to leave in and just continue to save with the plan of getting a place in the next few years, I would get a second job to raise the funds.

I prefer buy and hold.

Your son is likely paying more than the property is worth, by definition, as the seller would almost certainly prefer a similar offer that was not subject to. 

The area’s limited number of apartment buildings means that many renters prefer single-family properties, creating steady demand for these homes.Happy to chat further if needed.

They only want to do the bare minimum to keep places occupied, collect and distribute payments, and send out their preferred repair people.

He is my preferred lender, as well as, fellow investor  too.

Most institutional DSCR lenders prefer one lease per property/unit, however, I've seen programs allowing rent by room strategies.

I’ve heard arguments for both, but I’m curious—what’s your preference, and why?

The question is mostly a personal financial planning question and it depends on your preference and what balance of risk and access you'd like and would be comfortable with.
