The model itself is dumb, illegal, and filled with nothing but idiots.

Specifically for the rent-to-own model do you know which components go into determining "strength of the deal"?

I had a intro call with them on Friday and their business model sounds amazing, but maybe too amazing. 

A business model that has always made sense to me is teaching people how to find good deals and have them bring them to me for more critical evaluation and execution where I invest my capital beside yours.

I needed to replace one, and they are very expensive compared to a standard 30” model.

I would still contact the entities suggested, but if you want STR cash flow, it may be best for you to stick to the STR business model.

I'm sure this model will be super helpful in other cities as well. 

This is not an unusual structure for investors with loads of experience and model that is proven to work, but for someone just starting out it makes no sense.Cheers!

I've modeled it out a couple of times. 

There is no Mid-Term or a Rent by the Room style loan as of yet.
