I've had great success with single-family rentals and they've been a steady source of income for me.

Traffic, that's it, that's there only value hold, the user base which is in steady decline with no way or plan to mitigate. 

The other option is also to refinance into another private loan - so someone in your network wants to have steady cash flow each month and they will be the lender.

So you have tenants that want a different temperature for the pool?

There is NOTHING more important than your feet in the street when buying turnkey and the PM you use.And please, don't try to get rich quick, slow and steady is the best way to do it, don't get burned on a D grade property from across the US that you bought for $40K and rents for $700/month and think you won't have issues and will become a millionare over night.If any property or TK specific questions, please ask away!

Long term govt job usually means steady income with little chance of getting fired. 

That said, I'm seeing a steady stream of potential deals come through the MLS, and I suppose even more if you want to hustle for those off market deals everyone speaks of.

Our area in RI it's 400-500/bedroom pretty steady over the past couple years.

Over time, the subfloor secured by the old nails starts to loosen through natural conditions (humidity, change in temperature).

Here’s what I’m thinking:Offer 6-7% returns as a secure ROI yearly by purchasing for example a $50k house in Ohio, renting it out for $1k splitting the rent 50/50 after taxes insurance and maintenance.Scenario:Purchase price: $65kRent: $1000Taxes and Insurance -$120Maintenance: -$100Remaining: $78050% to investor $390 a month x 12= $4,680 (About 7.2%)Upside for them in this is it’s steady returns and they don’t have to worry about the property etc because that’s what your role is.
