I view it as using other people's money, no different than a private lender.

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

So here is a partial list of people who might be more inclined to listen to your offer of a cash discount, or some type of vendor financing:Financially Distressed HomeownersThese are people who may be facing financial hardships such as foreclosure or debt.

Tell the people you interview the address or just the area and the property details (so they don't look up current rental info.)

There's also potential for developing "shared living" units where 2 or more people could share space, etc.

There are people in here who could have used a handful of that cash and turned it into a lot of money.

These are country people in their 70s.

It is beautiful out there but are people able to cash flow their existing STR. 

This is one of the best post I've seen on here.I've tried marketing my LTR before the previous tenants moved out, but the problem I ran into is that since I couldn't show the unit all of the people that originally reached out lost interest and moved onto to other properties.

And I did not want to try to estimate it through calculating averages because you never know how much people will actually use in reality.
