Houses are either sitting on market if the sellers are using comps from the past year or if the house is modestly priced, are lasting 3 hours. 

While the numbers check out great, it sucked, was stressful, consumed a giant pile of cash (cost about $15k more than we expected), and I asked myself about 38 times why the he!!

I have MLO and am registered but Not currently active but I keep up on CE each year so I can activate if I need to.. the main issue for me as an independent is the NMLS mortgage call report is so darn time consuming and intrusive..

It is essentially the same as a LTR lease with less time.I would say you provide starter supplies of consumables and cleaning only happens after they leave.

More time consuming, but then no problems down the road.

But it's difficult and time consuming, and despite David Greene's book, I do think it's difficult for a brand new investor to BRRRR in Ohio or Alabama from California =)

So going in person would be too expensive and time-consuming. 

Once you see that a company offers such a guarantee, check the Better Business Bureau to see whether consumers complain that the company hasn’t followed through on that promise.Expectations should vary based on the duration of the programs as well.

@Tyler, when individually appropriate, for investors who have a need for immediate cash, we've also refinanced the property modestly (20-30% LTV) to provide mom/dad with the cash to bridge the two-year gap. 

It has been on the market for about 45 days and has received modest interest from buyers.
