I bought 14 homes in a short period of time for gozone tax bene's those are the same as the benes that people search out for cost seg these days.. except they were much easier you did not need a cost seg report..

A lot of people will pay $1200/nt for 4 crappy budget motel 6 quality rooms at the All-Star resort rather than $175/nt for an 8br themed out mansion with a private pool, theater, and $30,000 arcade room.To answer your original question on investing over a long-term period, that is really this market's main strength. 

Not sure what to do now, and i don't want to carry a loan for a long period of time. 

From what I can tell an B area turn over period (with rent increase!)

I probably wouldn’t mention your third point - it makes it sound like you expect them to hold this note forever and I’m not very certain, but I’m guessing there isn’t a huge market for $100k secondary notes.Have you considered asking them to finance 90-100% for a short period of time so you can rehab and refi at a higher valuation?

I also have Mailchimp and was literally working on asking my investor database if they would be interested in being PMLs and periodically sending it. 

IMHOThere are more international students staying, I've seen it where I work (at a university), but many of the newcomers are not students and a country our size can't handle that many people in a relatively short period of time. 

Another key point in loans is that the broker or direct lender will often try and include the costs into the loan, for some this is fine but you are paying interest on that money over a long period of time....FYI

Feel free to dm and I can put you in touch.Also, please have a licensed and vetted contractor walk the property either before putting an offer or during an inspection period when you can back it and get your deposit back.Skepticism up front is always better than regret later.

For BP readers in NC (or other trustee states), get to know the trustees that operate in your county of choice, then periodically look for upcoming sales.
