A 12-month lease means stable cash flow, fewer turnovers, and minimal involvement, especially if you use a property manager.

However, co-living allows you to acquire properties with as little as 0%-5% down, drastically reducing the amount of cash required.Instead of needing $100K+ to buy a rental, a co-living strategy lets you start with a fraction of the cost while achieving higher returns.3.

I would think the only way Feds come in and lock this down if they can prove that the investments noted in the offering were never made and that the sponsor just pocket the cash and used new cash to pay the old investors.

.- To utilize the Mills Act requires a few things: An application (not free), inspections, and most importantly a contract with the city in which you promise to rehab and maintain the historic nature of the property.- The inspections are only 5 years, but tenants are not likely to take care of them home as well as you, and refurbishing hardwood, lath and plaster, and anything else is going to be much more expensive than the typical Landlord special (white paint, and grey LVP)It will all come down to making your numbers work.

@Jonathan Blanco, I'm and investor and a licensed mortgage broker so I've been on both sides of this conversation.I would look for a lender that (1) listens to you and understands your strategy and needs (hint: it's not always money), (2) has experience working with clients executing your strategy and brings more to the table than just cash - be it advice, relationships, deal-team partners, etc., (3) gives you viable options and explains the pros and cons of each option and (4) you enjoy interacting with - this should be a relationship, not a transaction.Once you find a few lenders like this (and you should have relationships with more than one), then you can start comparing rates and fees.

Because real estate always goes up and the maintenance fairy takes care of all repairs free of charge.Seems like a recipe for disaster. 

I'd be happy to connect further and see how I can help, feel free to message me. 

Low down payment, but you would be increasing the value of the property with your own cash.

If it sold for $120K in 2007  , and your rent is $2000 a month , the landlord is probably cash flowing rather well .
