I’m a long term rental guy, so make less than an Airbnb type operation on cash-flow .  

Hard money is a type of business loan for non-owner occupying investors.

Knowing the average bP buy and hold investor this type of information would be for advanced investors that deal in the back end of real estate not the front end like most who just want to buy a house for under market rehab refi rent or flip. 

. - Property type (single-family homes, duplexes, or small multifamily)- Min/max square footage or number of bedrooms and bathrooms- Desired cash flow or ROI metrics to ensure profitability- Property Condition (turnkey, light cosmetic fixes, or heavy rehab)- Neighborhood type (A/B-class areas for appreciation vs.

Are there many REITs that currently regularly engage in this type of feeder based structuring for a investors?

. -- Unincorporated counties -- historically, the more conservative, skeptical-of-regulation type of government bodies -- have clamped down.

Next question.... will you self-manage it, or turn it over to a professional management company, or some type of hybrid? 

Thriving financially is one aspect; the human side keeps people engaged and loyal.Do expectations vary by property type or asset class?

@Nick Rivers I would HIGHLY recommend walking through an underwriting exercise with someone 1:1 that already does the type of U/W on a property type that you're interested in.

Look at Homes.com or Realtor.com to get an idea what that type of property is selling for (look at the ones Pending or Under Contract)...or, look in the county's GIS system to see what similar properties sold for.Once you have an idea what a fair market value would be, let the landlord (if they're interested in selling) mention their price.
