You run into the issue of one leaving and them bringing in a new roommate. 

-Do you see a common vein in why people might fail in real estate investing?

I will manage the property but having issues marketing on furnished finders without being the property's owner.

So, the interest rate issues and having to deal with comps does not come into play with us. 

I don't know about other parts of the country but where I am they are common, homes here will get them eventually.

I'm from the Bay Area originally and know that these types of stand alone houses are not very common but a condo could work.

A syndication or fund should have plenty of other issue, such SEC filings, accounting standards, actually being able to manage the business, actually running the business...As for credibility, a real estate license doesn't add much, in my opinion. 

Now if you have a health care company paying the credit part is no longer an issue and they do background checks on all employees.

Both times the tenants had renters insurance in place which took care of the issue so my client (the landlord) did not have to get involved nor make a claim on the landlord policy.We are very much in a hard insurance market right now - many carriers will not accept a new policy from you if you have a property or liability claim within the last 3 to 5 years (depending on the carrier) so you really don't want to make a claim right now if you don't have a large loss or can get it sorted yourself.

I have had issue after issue in my apartment.
