I asked what was meant by properties does not qualify...

If you elect to be a passive (still requires oversight) investor, TK can very much be the right choice.

That meant location so my kids didn't have to change schools, number of bedrooms/baths, etc.

As this plays out some property owners may elect to sell or will be forced to sell, dragging down prices.Franklin Street Properties, an office REIT focused on properties in the Sun Belt and Mountain West, has seen its underlying real estate decline by 20%, according to my analysis.

Buying and running the property would have certainly meant leaving a large chunk of capital stuck in this deal.

In some places the tenant can elect to apply the deposit to rent!

Anything larger than a few hours isn't meant for a handyman.Second,I understand that he came highly recommended from several other individuals who used him but did you vet him yourself?

Re: liquidity comment - I meant as compared to the investment vehicles I real estate isn’t as easy to liquidate.

Is the lockbox meant to be there so prospective tenants can view the house?

I wouldn't consider overpaying on the loans until at least after the elections as some form of loan forgiveness has a very real possibility of occurring.
