Lead laws are a bit out of control...the city is just trying to protect themselves...when they should be helping with the situation...

I know how serious lead paint is and that it’s really expensive to deal with, so I’ll probably only go into a situation with possible lead paint if nothing is peeling.

The situation is kind of messed up. 

I just got back from touring a colleague of mine's properties and came across an interesting (and expensive) situation he's currently dealing with.

I have done that model and seen that model over the years.. one guys in INdy called Holdfolio did thisnot sure how it performed but chose the rights assets and proper management and that works.there was a guy in Ohio also that called him self MR> triple net.. he sold you a home then rented it back from you for a set fee then he leased it out in a master lease situation were he took care of everything.my model I used a debt instrument equity share model that basically worked like what your talking about but had a pref return no matter what was happening with the asset.. that put big onus on operator to perform..
