It is a fun networking conversation either way.

Fun fun

Louis, both are fun!

Attempts by you to 'lock' the borrower into doing something with their property while the property is in distress may have some not so fun legal implications.

The problem I see with sophisticated software for analyzing long-term rentals is that the complexity of the software is going to far outweigh the accuracy of the inputs.For example, being able to model the impact of inflation in rents and material costs is a fun exercise (for some of us :), but realistically, you're going to have to guess what actual inflation will be and if you're guess isn't accurate (which it won't be), your results will be meaningless -- and the longer out you project, the more meaningless the projections become!
