Or do buyer normally pay for them? 

We’ve had WAY above normal rain since January.

Make sure to properly vet the prospective tenant to ensure you would rent to them under normal circumstances. 

Are these normally good buys, do college kids make good tenants?

@Rudy TateI just got this from fundrise:Fundrise Advisors, in our capacity as Manager of the eREITs and eFunds, has determined that it is necessary at this time to suspend the processing and fulfillment of redemption requests.While under normal market conditions, we seek to provide investors with the ability to redeem their investments on a regular basis, during times of financial crisis or extreme uncertainty, it is absolutely critical that we suspend redemptions in order to protect the interests of all our investors.As Manager, we have an obligation to make decisions based upon what is best for the entire Fundrise investor community and must always put the priorities of the whole above any one individual.Fundamentally, Fundrise investors own real property, which is simply not liquid. 

It's being sincere and a normal, likable person who has something UNIQUE to offer that will change the life of the person on the other end.  

The only thing that matters is how much you're willing to gamble.

Do you normally do it through your PM ?

I tell my clients here in Chicago all the time that it normally makes sense to just get started, especially if you can house hack.

There's no "best way" to accomplish this and it's a gamble every time.
