It seems like location would be especially critical with pad-split (and similar systems), but I’d love to hear your thoughts on what to watch out for in terms of zoning, safety, or demand.Also, I’ve traditionally rented out units the regular way, so I’m curious how screening tenants works for you with the pad-split (and similar) model.

I just want to hear from regular investors about their experience.   

I speak to them regularly and bonuses have never been on their list of incentives.

Hi Alex, I believe there is a Pittsburgh group that meets regularly but I would love to attend another gathering as long as time/place works.

How do other regular condos perform versus them? 

I than thought it was tenants, all the "what if's"; what-if they have a fire, what-if there is a shooting, dead body, drug raid, break-in, squatters, feces art, etc etc etc.....   

Attend events regularly, stay engaged in conversations, and keep learning through books and podcasts.

There are still tons of MLS deals getting done regularly. 

Maybe they've been burned by landlords in the past and are being very careful.You can legally reject them based on personality, facial tattoos, body odor, or other factors, but you better make sure you can prove that it wasn't based on any protected class like race, religion, familial status, etc.

Quote from @Richa Wardhan: Regular lender financing, we have paid off 70% of our mortgage on the primary residence so we were loaned money without any issue.
