To get 12 -15% in today's low interest rate environment requires one of three variables (1) work the note - usually a non or sub preforming note or (2) accept a higher risk, i.e, second lien position, very high LTV, borrower with very low credit scores or bad credit history, D property in undesirable areas, etc, or (C) get VERY lucky!

Would be wonderful but sadly doubtful of that would ever happen in the environment we are in.

Now a landlord can parse this as contractual small print and formalities but most tenants will not see it that way because the potential consequences for them are as serious as you can get.That's why Sherriff's have to be involved to keep the peace. 

If I had to guess, implementing a lead paint regulation is not far away for Airbnb and it might be a good idea to start implementing in order to just cover yourself.Also, they sell lead paint test kits at Walmart for like 20$ and it is a fairly simple diy project so it might be worth it to just test your walls for some peace of mind!

Actually, an area with few renters might even be more in demand than an area with mostly tenants, because it's a more stable environment, when it's mostly home owners. 

There are costs to selling it yourself  holding costs, aggravation, marketing your time and most of all peace of mind.

It's a bit dicey if they can't agree on values, but maybe a fee appraisal will silence the critics.You might end up playing peace broker in this one, or having to do partial owner financing, partial cash out etc.

The market/rate environment may be different when your 5-year period is up for reconsideration. 

I made peace with buzz words.

Big thanks to all of you for creating such a great learning environment :)
