The music festivals were all cancelled during the height of the lockdown and airbnbs still did well despite the lack of these large attractions.

Thanks.Redfin releases some good forecast..Zillow/Apartments.com / Rent.com might have an opportunity to produce and publish Rental-statistics and forecasts, that would certainly benefit RE-enthusiasts. :)

That will attract developers. 

If you were a private money lender, what would you suggest I do to attract you to my deal?

Combining that with your current home rented out could produce a nice boost to your annual income plus new tax advantages. 

However, DO the 1031 Exchange into an income producing Rental for all the cash from the sale then do a REFI cash out in a year. 

What attracts me to this is the freedom and of course the money.

Anytime you buy property with a party in possession (PIP) you run a risk of a defense to the eviction being raised.I worked on on title claim where the PIP produced a lease which claimed he prepaid five years of rent to the former owner. 

It may sound attractive, but all real estate investment options are still built on your number in and how you run them.

My client is purchasing as a rental income-producing property.
