Thanks Jon.I was thinking of having my wife get realtor license (she is home-maker currently) and then as we file jointly was thinking of doing that way to be able to use depreciation deduction from rental SFRs against my full-time W2 wage income.

Account ClosedPut together what we call a Land Joint Venture, or Land JV. 1.

$/bedroom, how many bathrooms usually, what distance away from the schools, etc...Do you mostly see the entire home be put up for rent where a group gets together and signs one joint lease(in my case, 4 parents/sponsors and their students)? 

Let it grow over the years and rents will go up as well.The thing is now you need to probably find joint venture partners to work with you for a BRRR or other strategy. 

Person A owns the house outright and may be okay with a joint-venture in which they bring the home, you bring the labor and materials and you both split the profits according to the JV agreement filed with the county.

You may even be able to do a joint venture. 

I can do fix and flips, buy and holds, private lending, joint ventures, appreciation plays and so so much more.

That said; is it "cracked" as in hairline cracks, or has it "heaved", doors not closing and separations at the sheetrock joints?

Like Brian stated, if they can't state specifically what is causing them to hesitate, forget this deal and find some other investors to work with that don't mind doing joint ventures.

However, older ones may have been renovated, with asbestos drywall joint comppound, ceiling texture, vinyl floor tile, sheet vinyl flooring, stucco, window putty, ceiling tile, etc.
