Strategically it sounded great and theory and this was an authentic case study(personal success stories no guru BS).

Just spent 5 minutes looking at some rental listings in prestigious areas of Minneapolis suburbs (maple grove) which I have a friend who lives there.Take a look at this listing (you may know who the realtor is on this one) a bag holder bought it at the peak in 2022 for 315k tried to rent it initially for $2400, now it’s going for 2k .

We supply anything that is shared (toilet paper for shared bathrooms, trash bags, dish soap, etc) so that tenants don't have to worry about whose turn it is to purchase supplies.

Welcome @Kerry SmithBP is definitely a resource you can add to your kit bag.

I notice that I can leave comments on the Inman article using a variety of authentication methods.

The bag of soil for sale at the garden center is personal property. 

@Stephanie Windemuth   I simply do not agree with you .. this business model is ANYTHING but brilliant.. its been tried over and over and each and every company has  a run make a bunch of dough and leave the poor investor holding the bag and many losing almost all their money.just not sustainable for a out of area person... its a joke really

Honestly maybe you just got to it first or maybe no one in your area will invest in the property you have it could be a number of different reasons why it seems too good to be true but most of the time if you’ve analyzed plenty of deals and you were accounted for all maintenance cat bags Property Managment realtor fees closing fees etc. then I say move forward.

For me the best strategy is to be your authentic self.

Do they have a history if staying in there to meet their obligations or do they cut and run leaving the lender holding the bag.
