You have Corporate (local companies that fly in execs from other locations or countries for short term projects etc), Vacation (there are whole websites dedicated to vacation rentals and all of them are short term and usually at a higher daily or weekly rate than if you rented by the year), Insurance claims (a family needs a place to stay while their home is being repaired due to storm damage or some other disaster).

It sounds like none of these tenants are corporate but mom and pop type.I just think you might want to pass on this and look for more quality.

They are being relocated from out of state by a Fortune 500 company (where they both work) and are in corporate housing for the time being.

It's no different than companies and corporations performing background and credit checks to determine the risk of hiring a new employee to further protect the owners/shareholders investments/money.

I just can't imagine an expert RE attorney or corporate attorney working for the pittance paid through cut rate legal services.

After that, I took a break from real estate to start my family.Now, seven years later, after burning myself out working in the corporate world as an IT project manager, I've quit that job to start my real estate investing company.

I do the full $17,500 myself, but some of that is for tax deferral as I will make less money when I retire from the corporate world.If you think you are going to earn more money in the future, I'd ease back on the Roth, although you can take out the Roth amounts that you put in with no tax consequences so you may not want to do that until you have found a deal.

Here's the language I often see in corporate emails.

@Jon Holdman I have read some where you can invest into your company like buying stocks in it maybe it was a S-corporation or C-corporation?

It may however be paid out in satisfaction of a loan to the corporation.
