Those are just some of the things I look for as an investor, managing a fund as well I have read 100’s of PPM’s and there are a lot of nuances to be aware of

I'm aware of Owner Financing, Lease Options, and Room Sharing, but are there other creative strategies I could consider to minimize my losses? 

The all-cash buyer is aware of the lower returns but has a personal reason for doing so... and that should be the end of the argument. 

I'm aware there's risk in entering a partnership and I'm aware it should approached with the same caution as approaching a marriage.

Now, like all investments there are things to be aware of that are pretty important to the success of your STR. 😉 This one is $11,250 in La Mesa.

When you present a client your analysis on a potential deal, (A) be VERY clear, clear to the extent of confirming they (the client) understands this disclosure, that (B) your analysis is ONLY to convey the data you were aware of on at time, in an EXAMPLE of an analysis, and NOT to be used as any direction of sole decision maker.

But what pisses me off... is thet when someone does make a deal using those strategies they gloat and brag... which does damage... but no one that fails, or struggles will proud;ly and openly make everyone aware they failed.For every one person that does make a deal doing D4$, THOUSANDS do NOT!

She's acutely aware of all the nuance regarding investment property selection in the various submarkets of SF.  

But I want to make sure I'm not missing out on any opportunities to acquire houses for below market that others are aware of.

I explicitly asked is there any permitting issues should I be aware of.
