This type of anecdotal evidence gives them a lot of comfort. 

You could get design & pricing tips there.Usually for South Florida not far from the ocean, a bedroom will rent for $50-$80/night and higher on weekends or special event.

I do Syndications because I come from the Private Equity field so it's comfortable for me, funding deals would be a new avenue for me and seems to be riskier.  

We got back on the market early June & got a full-price offer, but it was a double-contingency & the buyers had a situation we weren't comfortable with, so we declined them. 

I would be more comfortable with the property being in my name and having a contract.3. 

They don't like to do the hard work or step outside of their comfort zones 

The issue I see with this is the old housing does not really work with modern living, so such a renovation allows for an older house to be reinvented to better match modern needs.With that being said, current new duplex design should be solving alot of these issues. 

My wife has an amazing eye in regards to interior design (Her day job). 

During this period I want to get comfortable with a PM software that is both landlord and tenant friendly.

I'm sure there are deals to be had but I'm not comfortable with this process.
