Negotiation tip #47, make it as simple as possible for the other party to accept your terms.

As I see it, the only ways that real estate pays you well in the first 3-5 years is low to no leverage or a strategy that requires more work (short term rental, mid term rental, rent by the room, etc.).  

So it helps keep the turnover lower.

The lender may call the loan and want you to pay the remaining balance.
