Either one would hopefully "light a fire" under the tenant to get it done.

As a side note typically I do not use my deferred tax dollars to invest in traditional real estate as the benefits (depreciation etc) are all lost when using a self directed IRA - My guess is build to rent will provide little to no cash flow to build the account - it will all be locked in the property. 

Duluth has traditionally had a strong college rental market and thankfully any small decline in enrollment rates haven't been as severe as other traditional college cities, eg.

Need something else besides lightly managing these 9 doors. 

They don't need this to "push this industry in a positive light" All the MI experience has done is cast a bad light on the industry.

That typically lights a fire under the seller.

We had a light rain last night, but today It's sunny. 

This strategy can generate higher returns than traditional rentals, but it does come with increased management requirements and potentially more volatility.

While short-term rentals in areas like Kissimmee, Florida, can pay for themselves and offer lifestyle benefits, the ROI typically doesn’t match what I see from my traditional portfolio of long-term rentals in North Texas.That said, short-term rentals can still be a great choice, especially if you're drawn to the area and the opportunity to combine personal use with investment income.

Without going into too much detail, my current situation stems from selling a previous company via partial owner financing, only for the new owner to default on the purchase, leaving me in this position.For traditional financing, I understand I’ll need at least one, if not two, years of solid credit history, tax filings, and other financial documentation.
