That might not be possible, so partnering with others is actually a good solution.

@Jeremy Hawkinson Yeah, unfortunately there are many people out there who view it that way which is what makes it so challenging to find reliable people to invest with that you can trust. 

That is reliable, verified, legitimate and people are actually using right now to be profitable. 

Here are a few things I've thought of that could be potential solutions.1.

@Alexander RoeschmannSince we only have accurate and reliable housing data going back 130 years and stock market data back to 1926, what have you used to derive your "100 year cycle" hypothesis?

I'm looking for an inexpensive solution that would meet code while also not create a liability (college kids...).

I would prefer communicating with them and finding a good solution for everyone. 

“We don’t loan on mixed use buildings.”I would think in this absurdly low interest rate environment that it would be easier than in the past to secure reasonable loan terms if I wanted to borrow against the properties.Curious to hear if anyone can offer feedback and/or possible lending solutions.

Does anyone know any reliable birddogs? 

It won't necessarily be reliable nor a formal proposal, but you may get what you pay for.
