. ;-) So, what happens if the deal/loan goes bad?

Most employers now direct-deposit, so you can also cross-verify the legitimacy of paystubs (are their payroll deposits equal to paystub income?).

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Please see  background on deal below, as this will be my firdt purchase.

If they are not good tenants, the lease does not get renewed.When we determine the general direction for the year we look at:- inflation (US)- hourly wage growth (US)- market rent growth (in my case Milwaukee)We also monitor the market and our competition, we get feedback with every turnover and see what fair market value is.

We've done a lot of deals in the Carolinas.

The problem with these small deals is that there no money in it for the Lender or the investors who buy the payment streams.  

Your direction?

Either way, we'd need to see strong financials and a strong sponsor with a very solid deal to get anywhere close to what you are looking for.Cheers!

I have always been interested in real estate investing and want to get into my first deal and get some first-hand experience to relay to clients.
