If you are not finding anything at all you could look at placing in a DST instead.Sometimes this can make sense if say you are an accredited investor but only have 200k to exchange.

I sort of like the 10 scale, people who give 4s for a less than perfect stay can now leave a 9 :) Rating systems on these sites make virtually no sense because they're designed to just elicit mindless response.

I'd suggest you weed out the ones that don't fit your end goal and schedule.Rentals and Air bnb seem to be the most common routes for investors in your situation.

Because you are doing rent by the room, if you plan to furnish common areas, make sure your insurance company knows that you also have personal property there and the value to make sure it is covered.

Is this very common across all lenders?

Lastly, any contractors or investors that higher contractors to build spec houses out there that are having problems purchasing the land, and with cost of construction having problems finding projects that make sense?

The guarantee is that they will work with you until you recoup at least your initial investment (if you do the minimum required), but it makes no sense to keep digging a hole you can't get out of. 

We are seeing signs of higher demand even though rates remain high, months of inventory decreasing, multiple offers becoming very common again, and consumer confidence increasing.We are expecting these trends to continue as the news headlines continue to shift and report much more positive market conditions.

This is just another example of asset class and why going higher makes sense. 

I was hoping to avoid having to contact so many counties, but makes sense.
