I just sat through a free webinar they put on and it was fairly informative for being free.

It is a very safe play.

Comps to me no longer play the only role because of rates, seasonality, etc., it definitely fights the arguments on re-fis with the appraiser but I'm noticing there's just a liquidity issue that is skewing things.I try to essentially start at the floor and work my way up on the ARV as opposed to seeing the highs and working it down.

I do have a few fair contractors. 

I have more than 20k to play with, just looking for ideas for best use. 

As others have alluded to, buying larger units or a house near the beach is a better play. 

I do think brand can play a very important role in the long term of something like this.

Luckily, my wife and would be in a position to buy their house from them at fair market value, if that is the best option? 

Thanks, Victor.I have met the people in person, and it's a fairly large, established lender operating in multiple states. 

Most traditional property managers don’t handle this setup due to challenges like managing tenant disputes, coordinating overlapping move-ins/outs, and the risk of Fair Housing violations when selecting tenants.
