Thanks KC and Joshua,Seller financing is interesting but seems complicated.Total loss on sales would materialize ~90K after transaction fees, value decrease etc.3,5k includes mortgage,tax, insurance, maintenance. 

We have 2 properties near Joshua Tree, CAWe are looking for rental arbitrage company to manage them for us.Can somebody suggest any rental arbitrage company/business that can manage our 2 properties there?

Joshua, hi.

And of course there are other types of business's you can buy.. like the @Joshua Watts mentioned the storage business its a business not really what I consider just a real estate investment. but can be real good.. 

@Joshua De Young  The 5% is only an approx on interest rate but it's probably pretty close to what the bank will charge me.

@Joshua Levine:Depends on your strategy.

And special thanks to @Joshua Dorkin ,@Brandon Turner and all the awesome guests on the BP Podcast - it's one of the most informative and entertaining podcasts I've ever heard!  

Thanks Joshua!

I recently visited Joshua Tree, CA and saw how well branded, beautifully decorated, and incredibly remote most of the properties are out there.
