So here's the run down.Two buildings, same building essentially except one side has a backyard to it and 3 more units.

Essentially a travel trailer/camper that lowers down to the ground/ice on frozen lake to fish out of.

They bring in the furniture and essentially stage the property for you.

A pre-approved short sale price should close much faster, since the paperwork has mostly been done already.

I think this worked better for me because it gave me confidence in the rental appeal of the condo at the rental price listed and then let me follow up with the email which would essentially screen out most of the people that didn't fit my rental requirements.  

The majority of the inventory is studios and 1-Bedrooms (in the cities).Conclusion was essentially that Baby Boomers are down sizing and Millenials are going to need small Single Fams and this is going to create a huge demand for "Work Force Housing" for the next 10 years-ish timeline. 

But you get non-recourse financing with 30 year amortization and much less of a hassle with paperwork (like 2 years tax returns, etc.)Something in the $10 million range would price out at about 5.25% to 5.50% at 70% LTV. 

Your cash will be essentially idle while you are building equity.

Essentially we are trying to determine if we want to become property managers and want to know how to set us apart from the competition. 

Of course the roofing contractors will tell you they will do all the paperwork for you, and that you don't have to worry about a thing, blah blah...they will rig their paperwork to quote for up to the amount out of the insurance company's payout.
