They're also avoiding short term rental fees, temporary storage fees.Creative finance: they have too much equity for a subject-to deal; but I'm wondering if I could do a wraparound mortgage of 300k at 4.51% (payment would be around $1785/mo; market rent is around $2300/mo) and maybe offer like $40k cash?

You likely needed to send a written breakdown of the deductions within a certain time period etc.

For my clients buying this as a vacation rental, even if they got coverage and could rebuild after a fire, the value of the short-term rental in Colorado would be ruined b/c no one wants to visit a scorched mountainside.If you're an agent like me working with STR/second-home buyers, or your just buying yourself, navigating the wildfire risks and other natural-disaster risks of a home are now part of the transaction.

Hi BP,I've been considering selling my personal residence to free up some liquidity and then leasing it back for some period of time (say, 6-12 months).  

In short, they are great and I recommend if you are only looking to passively invest.

Both short term and long term.

A Real Estate Agents job is to SELL real estate PERIOD.

So, if you are in a property early, wait 6 months or whatever the hold period of the offering type is, and then unleash your tokens onto an exchange, you potentially influence the value of that token forever, no matter how the underlying asset performs.   

I also wonder how our interest in re-financing out of the property in 1-3 years (i.e. to get his money out of the deal), suddently leaves me with a lopsided short end of the stick.

It's a bit lower than what you were getting, but it could save you the hassle of finding a new tenant and dealing with potential vacancy periods.
