The arrangement works out fantastically, as all parties can now do what they're best at, and while we are separate entities, our services are integrated.  

My ARVs are also reflective of those factors. 

Of course the goal should be on the first page by anytime but that is usually bad ROI since the price is the biggest factor on the rank.

what factors should I be looking at when making this decision.  

The key element is :"the intent of which is the transfer of title"in law, the intent can be the determining factor, it doesn't have to actually occur or be done in a specific manner.You can speed because you have your foot down too hard on the pedal or you can speed because you are going down hill.

It could certainly be a concern - but depends on a lot of factors - are you looking multi or SFR? 

There are markets that have built in "gotchas" like the rising cost of insurance in coastal FL, regulations in much of the west coast states and property taxes in Texas; however, the deal itself is the most critical factor.

That is something that is growing due to the limitations of STR.MTR is something that will help you but you will have to be a bit flexible in the times that you are planning to come in.Management is cheaper than STR, but you have to consider other factors such as close to places where those MTR are in need.

A man of god would do things with integrity, honestly and humility in the interest of all.

That’s the very simplified version but raising capital is always your biggest limiting factor so the more investors you can connect with the better.
