This isn't easy to do and it smacks of a conspiracy to circumvent rules when it really isn't.We have a securities attorney and will get an opinion about this and some other constructs to accomplish what we want to accomplish soon.

I was interested to hear what others might be doing in securing non-bank financing.

I actually prefer to JV with potential partners on each deal because it is easy to "split up" later on if things go south after one, two, or X deals.Be careful about securities laws if one party is passive!

Normality is where inventory levels are at or near historic levels and where supply and demand are also near equilibrium.

If the s-corp secures a loan from me for the purchase, would it limit the exposure if sued?

Other than the tenant loosing the hardware to secure their own flat panel, do you see any issues with a permanent flat panel mount in a rental of this type?

Typically you see more of these secured by commercial property as opposed to residential.

Yes Tony a TRUE Triple Net the landlord will not pay those costs.Lately net lease companies especially credit rated tenants have been more demanding in trying to get the landlord to cover some costs.It is very important to look at the length of the lease and terms and escalations.With inflation if the rent increases every 5 years is marginal and they want you to take care of certain items with the property it can drastically reduce your returns.It's all about what returns you are seeking versus the security and consistency of the payment.Generally triple net will hover around the 6 to 9 CAP range but will not approach the teens in most situations.For those kind of returns you have to usually chase after value add deals but they are much more work than mail box money from a credit tenant.Credit tenants have risk which is why you also research heavily the health of the tenant today you are acquiring the lease and their growth plans for the future along with reserves.

However, they only paid $600/mo. at their last place so I'm not sure if they will be able to keep this up.Then one of the two remaining tenants sent me an email hinting indirectly about what would happen to the security deposit if they had to move out before the end of the lease.I am thinking of two options:1) telling them I will let them out of the lease early if they stay at least until January 1st (so I don't have to deal with the holiday vacancy problem) and stay current on the rent until then, and I will give them back the deposit if the place is in broom clean, undamaged condition, as per the lease.2) lower the rent to $800 to keep them there (I haven't had any real issues with the two remaining people, and they are taking good care of the place).
