Fastenal and SafeLite are good examples of national credit tenants with hub and spoke location strategies whereby they have multiple smaller locations across a metro area.If the situation is dire you can always put a tenant in month-to-month just to cover the NNN's until a long term tenant comes along.

In my perspective this actually makes the decision making process more complicated.The first baseline assumption is that you and your partner have extremely flexible jobs that would allow you to move anywhere without a dire financial consequence.

I've also figured in property mgmnt @ 10% just in case the current tenant moves on who is doing that for free basically.I would like to try to wholesale this, but the seller isn't in dire straits, just wants to be done with the mgmnt of it.

This has caused at least 3 major problems: 1) the market is now oversaturated with Airbnbs, 2) rental rates have come down bc of so much competition, 3) there's a dire shortage of workers available to service the huge increase in the # of Airbnbs.Wait times are often a month or longer for service providers.

You don't have to take the first offer - unless you are in dire need of the money.

It’s to help those who are in dire need.Have you tried renting to Section 8?

Of course if it is a 1031 or strait investment and the new owners are hoping to just prevent the distruction of their capital via inflation.  

Never ever ever mix friends and family with business unless they are in a dire emergency and you are ok being a charity for them.

(The standard hard money LTV does not seem to be adhered to.. at least on reasonable ARV valuations.)I have another deal which is supposedly in similar but not as dire straits and one that supposedly is performing.The communication has not much improved.

My analysis shows that from a “house hack” perspective, the most strait forward way to lessen your monthly out of pocket is in a SFH situation - but as an investment it would not out perform a duplex scenario.
