Developing a track record of successful investments and leveraging your track record by syndications or creating an investment fund4.

Long story short, I am from a small town in a rural area.

Also PM would do a checklist during that photo visit to try to catch extra people, unregistered pets, leaks, damage, maybe bad water heaters/HVAC units, storm damage, so that's being proactive.I think these days too many PMs are in it to try to figure out how they can milk the heck out of stupid owners vs helping them build a portfolio and be successful owners.Being proactive on preventative maintenance, being quick on delinquencies, providing property values and options is helpful. 

Then use Airbnb profits to pay off any remaining investments over a short-term period (3-5 years)Take out a separate mortgage and buy the family out?

Looking to start in Memphis buying long-term rentals or flipping.

I used to live in the property and are in very good terms with the previous neighbors, and don't want to risk anything given the shady past/current behavior from the tenants. 

Hey BPers,  I've been casually reading about Peer Street and Fund that Flip and am curious about people's recent and long-term experiences with these services. 

Short of asking the seller to carry the note at a lower interest or putting down a much bigger down payment - what am I missing? 

It would be a long term rental.

of course you have to handle the inquiries… but it’s pretty easy… we’ve done it multiple times.Your 6% appreciation approximation is less than the 7% average return the stock market  does long term - and lately it has been blowing that figure away - though as they say - past performance doesn’t equal future performance.
