Only real life examples, I hope they would be helpful for potential renters and their friends, relatives/parents.Landlord greet potential tenant in... underwear and "explain" what he want "My neighbors do not like, that I rent my house, so at morning, when you go to your job, be UNNOTICEABLE, invisible, so they would not even see, thatthere is a tenant here.

In states with longer and short foreclosure timelines or with assets that have higher capitalization demand for legal or physical defects, that number will go up and down.The price is relative to the asset and state the asset is in. 50% in Detroit is not so great on lower level assets and 50% in Texas is too low as foreclosure is a little faster there.

Since inception Colony has invested $48 billion in over 19,000 assets/loans and has ~$25 billion of assets under management (gross) on behalf of over 250 institutional investors.Through the identification of supply-demand source imbalances in capital, product types and information availability, Colony achieves attractive risk-adjusted returns by investing in real estate and real estate-related debt investments, non-performing loans, distressed assets, real estate-dependent operating companies, and select commercial and residential development opportunities throughout the world.

I would vet some banks to see if it is really as hard as your relative says before you just develop an entirely different strategy.

But the property itself is too expensive relative to rents.
