I was planning on building the home in the traditional stick built style in my budget but am wondering if doing prefab may save some money/have other benefits.

One more thing, especially for people who don't meet my criteria, besides more deposit is required, I also do a interview with them, not interrogation style, more like a friendly conversation to figure out their situation.

Cowboy style.

My vacation market we are around $800 per night so the clientele is more family oriented and tend to spend most days in national parks or out adventuring.

Me and my partners operate Raise the Standard out of Milwaukee, WI an investor oriented full service business.

They are very win win oriented and they say each lease is unique and creative it different ways because each of the 130 businesses there are in buildings, factories, hangars, and shops all located on federal ground.

Direct lenders are great for portfolio style loans, investors that do significant transactions and have a banking relationship. 

It might be that this couple that owns the house is just getting their feet wet with having someone else managing the property and they want to get comfortable with your management style as being what they want.

It could be a good option if the investor strongly desires ease and passive style.

When you do the New Home Orientation, take your time and be thorough.
