This works OK for relatively static and simple investments like a private placement or crowdfund, but can become rather cumbersome and expensive with a more time sensitive and transaction intensive asset such as a rental property.

Satin bedrooms start looking like a cheap motel and will cause dislike among the more aware tenants.But hey, plenty of apartments were installing golden oak up to 2010, so obviously not everyone is at all sensitive to things like that. 

Don't forget to gnash your teeth.

@Jerryll Noorden A certain percentage of our Baltimore sellers either-don't use email-don't have a computer-don't speak EnglishIf they cannot log in to our closing platform to upload sensitive documents/information to help us clear title, they aren't searching Google. 

Here's what I've gotten from these (though with more detail of course), if I choose to "chase" these down, please correct me if I'm wrong:Get it with favorable loan termsThere should be a spread between payment and rentResale of these must also be done with favorable termsIt's not worth the risk unless it's being done for $5K or moreIn an ideal situation you're controlling the property instead of owning it, and are able to do things to it to drive up the appreciation ("creating equity)Seller Financing should be in place (to buy and sell the property), probably with some kind of exit strategy involving a Lease Option.It's primarily a cash flow strategyThe risk factor is pretty high, so it's best not to cut your teeth on itThanks again guys!

Look at the guy in the mirror when you brush your teeth.

The big thing that sold me on the vinyl planks is that it is installed with pressure sensitive adhesive which means that if a tenant drops something heavy on a spot or drags a dresser across the floor and scrapes it up, I can pull up those indicidual pieces and replace them with new ones without refinishing wood or replacing laminate.

Not a big deal to forward a PDF to a tenant but I'm not sure why it's not part of their system and it was annoying to have to sign up for their secure mail portal (but an understandable limitation since the PDF does contain non-sensitive PII) I use cozy.co for collecting rent so I just uploaded the PDF to the documents section of the lease which emails the tenant and keeps the docs in one place. 

Now, for when things go bad.......Yes, I have lot's of teeth in my lease, big, razor sharp, nasty teeth to it.

For example, how sensitive was COC to the Cap and Int spread.
