Would like to see more phone calls as opposed to chain emails.

I’m actually facing something similar and justifying it because she pays monthly (albeit late) and I’m figuring that’s at least money coming in as opposed to the outflow of a unit turn and vacancy. 

My cousin's POV was MTM would be 3-day notice to pay/quit as opposed to chasing after 1-year lessor for defaulting.MTM tenant would not need to worry about rental increase as it is regulated on annual basis in California capped at 10%.

I explained seller financing and they were opposed to it because of their age, which is understandable.

A debt structure for SFR that's valued by cap rate as opposed to individual appraisal.Im open to speculative conversations but here is the scenario.Tenant: National tenant, operating 4000 leases nationally on single family homeswilling to pay 1% of gross value and sign a multi year lease.

I want to invest in other states as well and not opposed to our first deal being out of state. 

for some reason REITs have never been a sexy asset class, older investors look at REITs as a weird-bond and wonder why own something with 4-5% dividend when they can own Investment Grade corporates at 5-6% or even recently US treasuries at 5%, and young investors don't even know what they are.yet they acquire class A real estate, the kind you and I can't due to price, the kind that has the best capital appreciation in great areas long term, and they have access to credit at lower rates than us, or they can just print shares and get new capital for free that way, to buy more great properties, They can pay for the best management, they don't ever pay brokerage fees either in or out (have everything in -house), and they generally have much lower risk as most of their portfolios are leveraged at only about 30-40% LTV, and we have zero personal liability when owning them as opposed to the litigation headaches we get with direct RE, and right now they collectively are on sale about 25-50% below their NAVs at lowest valuation since 2008, as opposed to SP500 at all time highs.

So I just felt that even without comps I kind of knew under 400k downtown Easton, I can easily sell, as opposed to like dc or suburban Md where there are a million comps and tons of info these rural market’s with lack of comps and info you can kind of set your own market if you understand the area. 

The hope is that I’ll be able to find a traditional househack, although I am not opposed to doing a rent by the room scenario if I am unable to find a suitable traditional deal.
