There is nothing wrong with that, but I think many people don't fully understand their reasoning for doing it.

Though I suppose many people would rather have new construction townhouses or a 3 or 4 story apartment project on the site.   

I rent to people who set up mid and short term rentals.

Probably because whether someone died on the subject property is irrelevant. 160,000 people die every day. 

We have people of all experience levels join us.

There are often some great and helpful people at those. 

Which I don't do and I still get them coming sometimes.Just be aware once operator stars  options to refinance will only be private or  commercial loans tried myself and no luck hard hide is a assisted living with people in it heard of some doing some crazy stuff but hate going illegal on things like this, ended up refi with commercial forget about cash out and such, and you are bound by appraisal as a commercial property which was in our case 25% lower then if we sold it empty as a residential home.

Are any of the people who posted here still investors in southern Illinois?

It's just lending people EMD.

If someone asked me how bad it is, I would indicate different people have different levels of tolerance but the plane noise is loud enough to interrupt conversations.
