Sounds like the best option is find a local investor that needs some extra capital that I trust.

The owner handles the rehab themselves.So, we rarely charge any fees as our owners typically choose one of the 3 options and they are all a win/win for both of us. 

Could house hacking in an area you're currently living in be a better option?

I guess the other option is to use a property mgmt company to find a tenant for you, but I just thought it would be interesting if there's a site where the landlord can peruse a list of quality tenants and reach out to them directly! 

People live there because they have no other options.

Is the certification a recognized option that you have obtained additional training that instills confidence in real etatinvesting?

While I understand the standard expectations of lenders / investors, trying to search for the non-standard options, that would work for both sides.

Her math is off but it's a valid option.

Sometime saw investors add clauses that were like put options, but in the real estate market.

@Michael Mainini you have options and renting could be a good choice if your interest rate is low.
