There are some stocks that have really high dividends..of course high return sometimes means more risk . I

If he is handing me the quality of tenants he claims to be, I will have to ask him where his risk is (the monthy payment would be about 25% of GOI.Hmmm, that's an idea... can I flip this on it's head.

What do YOU think the risk is of something happening?

I agree that this is a high risk proposition.

I still think it would be disallowed or risky though.

I am presuming this risk is designed out of the engagement by the TPA with forms you sign though.

The latter can be extraordinarily risky for the lender and they’re inappropriate for flips anyway.Jeff

Unfortunately, some of that risk can be VERY RISKY and lead to a much lower return when you are talking about SFR.

If we have a guy we know that can do the work and he says his business colleague who is a contractor who is a general pull permits etc. would this be risky?

You may be able to get 200-300 a night, but it's a risky endeavor especially in an area that is more or less "rural".I think you'd be better off selling the place and on the occasions you want to stay there, just check out VRBO or a 5 star hotel instead.Just some thoughts, I wish you luck either way!
