This gives you the benefits of ownership without the hassles of “landlording” or playing general contractor—in my opinion, it’s a more feasible arrangement if you’re looking to live in one state and own in another.The initial outlay can be pretty reasonable as well.

PMLs exist, there's zillions of them, real estate investors work with them every day and PMLs fill a need and have a role to play as a specific tools for a specific situation.See if you can put a sharper point on your question.Mike Thanks for this Mike! 

It was pretty interesting watching this all play out..

But if its a strong offer just play it out. 

Credit scores are a reflection of someone's ability to learning and understanding the rules of the game and haveing the discipline to play by them.If you already have good credit, already pay everything on time (autopay), then increaseing your limits will probably help you the most, because it gets your utilization down, ideally under 10%.Higher hanging fruits are average credit and account age (just have to wait for that I guess) and inquiries, which are sometimes unavoidable as real estate investors.  

Likely would want to close on 11/28 at the latest to play it safe as the notice takes affect the next day, not the day it was served. 

People like new homes- It is easier for me to identify with which homes will be more marketable in the future yearsCons- Cash flow usually isn't as good (which is ok with me, because it is always an equity play for us).  

Just be ready for the ride...it’s not always smooth sailing, but if you play it right, those jitters can turn into some seriously sweet returns.And if you do end up jumping on a short-term rental in Tampa Bay, just pick up the phone and let's dig into it.

Then divide that cost by the amount of time between now and then and that's how much you should be putting aside for Capex.For general maintenance, the age and condition of the building will play into that.

BUT, it's an appreciation play.
