If nothing else, offering a small reward like a gift card to their favorite restaurant (ask when they initially sign the lease) helps.

Your expertise can make a big difference!

@Corbyn R TowerReal estate investing is a rewarding journey that requires starting with smaller deals, house hacking, creative financing, and the BRRRR strategy.

I've done it, the market does not reward the effort and the cost.

All can have different risk reward scenarios, all can have different perspectives.  

I could also just do a straight arbitrage/master lease but prefer the co-host model as I see it as more equitable and disperses risk and reward more evenly between myself as the co-host and the syndication LLC as the property owner.

With that said, if you decide to change your plans and not get into REI that solution will still reap it's reward for peace of mind.

And don’t forget that your legal bills, process server fees, etc are higher.But even after the expenses and the higher maintenance, the reward of the much higher NOI is there to be earned.

What you’re describing, often called Residential Assisted Living (RAL), can definitely be a lucrative and rewarding strategy if done correctly.

The new wholesaler, while well-intentioned, caused all of this by trying to broker a deal on the internet with no experience, by not vetting the title company to make sure they were real, by not knowing what they were doing, and by tying up that seller's property with no plan or expertise to get it sold.
