If they do not qualify because of poor credit or income issues compared to being self employed etc there are differences - but typically people don’t qualify due to poor credit and people will seller finance to these borrowers thinking they woke up at a holiday inn and got a finance degree when in reality they repeat their past mistakesRemember the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result

Quote from @Danae Pitcher: How is everyone seeing the holiday bookings this year as compared to last year?  

It seemed that it was about a $300-400 difference in monthly rent in that market for comparable properties that allowed vs. didn't allow pets. 

Condos will be your best option when compared to co-ops because only about 15% of co-ops allow subletting.

Basically if there is no "living room" and there are no comparable properties with similar square footage and bed/bath count in your area the property becomes difficult to comp or sell and lenders will not be able to use it as collateral for a loan Excellent point.

So that is one area where there could be some movement, but again, if people are thinking they are going to see a 4 in the interest rates anytime soon, I do not see it.

Comparing what was promised to what was delivered lacks context. 

With margin trading of 20-25% of initial investment, when stocks market collapses with dollar cost averaging as a strategy  , leverage of the initial investment in stocks, the AAR can be more.comparable to most syndication (compared to 20% down payment in real estate).I have been following BP forums for the last 4-5 months and have spent almost 4-500 hours.

ALSO they have regs on rooming houses only allowed in specific zoning, similar zoning as for hotels;  only on main streets in business districts AND you have to apply for licensing and blabla as for a hotel..That said;  there is a small movement supporting rent by the room as a small step toward solving affordable housing. 

This can easily happen when the person valuing the property does not account for differences in the subject property and those chosen as comparables.
