We have several different "types" of properties to include traditional single family rentals, one multifamily rental, lease to buy options with tenants who hope to buy from us, two short term rentals, and some agricultural farm land that is cash rent. 

After 3 years he loses his right to redeem from me and the original owner is WAY out of the picture.

You could buy in a popular area where STRs are to make a solid return, but what is the long-term value of that area?

I'm guessing I can't be the only one...How do people find comfort in knowing the interest payments, over time, could even exceed the original value of the loan?
