So if you are still uncertain, could just make a lease with employer and give that employer rights to sublet to the person, thus your lease is with employer and there on hook to you, and they can deal with the person and all that liability. 

Columbus OH is a prime example, we're still seeing deals here that hit the 1% rule.

Are there any investors I could learn from, network with, and potentially even partner on deals?

I am investing in my third deal with them.

I would recommend you reach out to him directly @Mark Roland to get a quote.

Whether we partnered on a deal or if you need a property manager/co-host.

I would fund a deal 100% if it was good enough.

What kind of deal sizes are you working on?

If you have any questions or just want to talk feel free to reach out to me directly.

I direct messaged you.
