Folks just drink the cool aid of guaranteed rent..

Your agent is NOT doing this for you and is only concerned about making their commission, no matter how many cookies they send you or white their teeth are.Cash flow - you are not guaranteed cash flow.

if you pick a random property in Akron (i was just there, randomly) that you haven't seen, that's listed on Zillow, and turn it over to people you haven't met to manage, it is nearly guaranteed that you will lose money.if you're serious about this, i would recommend that you go there in person, meet agents in person, build a network in person, and conduct your property search in person.and if you can't go there in person - i wouldn't give up on Oregon. i know, i know, you're going to tell me it's 'too expensive.' and so yes, it's difficult. 

No magic letter will guarantee success.

The legal docs to investments like these are usually pretty locked in and there is a very deep understanding that projections are just that and not guaranteed, and the legal docs usually give the syndicators room to maneuver away from the original business plan if they feel it's the best decision. 

This assures them I'll attempt to perform on their court while reciprocity guarantees me another agency that works with investors(also an ice breaker i.e.

I see they offer leasing and guaranteed rent as well as overall property management.

However, I like the idea of the guaranteed rental income from the government.

You unfortunately have no guarantee they would pay just based off bank statements.

Guaranteed.
