When I'm looking at potential opportunity, price isn't that big of a factor.

Just say no.I would almost never do this trade unless all my downside, including potential unknowns, were completely compensated for. 

I would put it in your listing details and also potentially house rules. 

@James Wise gonna have to disagree with the "lie cheat steal" concept regarding residents.Any resident has the potential to be less than desirable.

It turns out that nothing is more of a waste of time, energy, and money than this, money that could have been spent elsewhere.

Sellers may struggle to mentally shift from "owner" to "tenant," which can create challenges with boundaries and property care.Security Deposit:If you’re doing a temporary leaseback, be sure to collect a substantial security deposit to cover potential damages and ensure they vacate on time.

Before purchasing a rental property carefully evaluate the appreciation potential.

That being said, if it provides me a significant advantage or a starting point, I think it would be foolish not to utilize it.Therefore, given these two different perspectives/starting points, I'd love to hear any potential advice on which strategies/niches to focus on first, and for which starting point.

Even one vacancy or non-paying tenant could potentially be a major problem.And yes, there were vacancies, and non-paying tenants, and major problems.

There would potentially be some weight issues with the 2nd+ floors of some shopping malls, depending on what the potential tenant wants to store in the upstairs unit.
