There's just the two distinctions on the most common means of lending.

I believe this idea is dangerous and is just another form of virtue signaling by a select few.

Especially if I am just getting started with real estate, only focusing on cash flow to me is a dangerous move.

Napa Valley holds the distinction, as far as I know, of being the only municipality in the United States to arrest and imprison an individual for running a short-term rental without a permit.  

Agreed, my first impression was this shouldn't be possible and could be dangerous.

As long as you have a good property manager and it's not you interacting with the tenants, what do you care if it's a dangerous neighborhood?

I know people do this, but I think its dangerous. 

@Wayne Brooks in addition the guru tactic of changing vesting to trust is an alienation of title as well.but its the law of averages.. most notes wont get called no matter what.. but this scheme is just so dangerous for sellers.. most have no clue as to what will bite them down the line.they gave up title.loan does not get paid.credit trashed there are those that did this as preditors ( not insinuating the OP is doing this just a commentary) they get in title rip the rents know the state they are doing this in has a very long foreclosure process years in some instances.. and seller is screwed fico wise and the guy in title just keeps ripping rent..

As a backup plan -- in the case that he will not accept 2ed position -- there is a chance that the seller has paid the 200 K which is on county record for 2014; if so, I will see if he would be willing to subdivide the land (there are three distinct cabins), conventionally finance the two smaller, and owners finance the largest. 

The way I am looking at it, the products would be entirely distinct -- If the jeep is rented on Turo, and the house on Airbnb, how do the issues become conflated legally?
