The model you should go with will ultimately depend on what the group is optimizing for (cashflow, appreciation, tax optimizations, diversification, and maybe even a little bit of social value doing something fun, potentially lucrative, and unique w friends).  

Also consider other niche investment types, perhaps like section 8.

Super cool idea I think - win-win for everyone, you make extra $, cleaner makes extra $, guest gets what they want and can have a unique memorable experience.Opens the door for lots of different "package" types What's the downside?

Each tenant living in a building has their own unique rent amount, so even if they do not leave a notation with the rent payment, I know whom paid the rent based on the amount alone.

Provide transparency so neither party feels “tricked” into a deal.Offer tools like secondary markets for token holders to sell their income rights if they wish to exit.The aim is to facilitate fair, mutually beneficial agreements—not to worsen deals for either side.This idea is designed for specific types of property owners (long-term holders who need liquidity) and investors (those seeking passive real estate income without ownership complexities).There are risks, like any financial agreement, but with proper transparency, legal safeguards, and investor education, it can work as a niche alternative to traditional real estate investing.Would love to hear your thoughts on what else might need to be clarified or improved in such a proposal. sounds like you have already convinced yourself this is the next big thing, so let us know in a few years how it goes.

Examples could include:Partnering with other investors to share risk.Using seller financing or lease options.Leveraging creative rehab techniques to save on costs.Negotiating with contractors in a unique way to reduce expenses.I’d love to hear any stories, tips, or approaches that helped you pull off a deal others might have instantly passed on.

Yup thats just one guy and one example there is going to be some really bad stuff happen because of these so called trainers and again I lump everyone in to that so called trainer who is advocating this niche .. they should just keep it to themselves instead of making money selling how to do this.. its a trian wreck and a total stain on the industry..

I understand the appeal of the E2 visa route, and there are indeed a few franchises that cater to that niche.
