Attorney has sent them the common roommate lease which they are not signing, still pushing w the rooming/boarding house theme (they all confirmed over text before moving in they understand the room rental situation and ok with it). 

I think in all honestly that this is a losing strategy under current market conditions, and have seen this strategy employed many times by investors I work with.

Not sure what you're employment situation is, but learn a trade like plumbing, HVAC or electric.

@Willson GuimontYou can exchange into a Delaware Statutory Trust or a Tenant In Common, but not a REIT. 

He said I could do that as a rental as long as they got continued employment verification from my current employer.

@Eran LifshitzVery common practice. 

Many buyers have to overreach to purchase pricey houses, so an employment slowdown can send properties back to the bank.  

Typically, a common address or an unambiguous description will suffice.

Unfortunately this seems like a very common theme.Wish I could give you some recommendations.I was just embarrassed by two companies I refer clients to.

If your main priority right now is strong cash on cash return, one way investors achieve 15% returns is by identifying opportunities in once sleepy regions that are now becoming trendy, or quiet suburbs that have a sudden growth of employment.
