If I were going into a new market and had something to bring to the table like deals - I would shoot over a quick intro to a couple of different folks and see who is the best fit.

Most folks feel comfortable anything more than a year. 

Recommendations from folks you've completed projects with personally would be best.

In 's general, blue collar folks, folks with lower income, folks just moving out of ma and pa's place. 

They've been offering one month's rent, and most folks take it.

I think you will find that most folks on here with side with househacking, myself included.

Are reports pointing to strong rental markets, or an influx of folks from the suburbs to more metropolitan areas?

I bet local lenders, inspectors, title companies, and insurance folks would have a similar read. 

Just curious what other folks are putting in there properties.

I have a lead through someone I know of a group of retired professionals with money to lend, although they, nor myself, have any formal idea of what to do.Can you good folks share how you've set up promissory notes, or shares in an LLC, interest rates, terms, etc. on how you've set up deals like this?
