I do deals with friend and family and they are loose because I trust them. 

Having a group of friends living in an apartment complex creates a sense of community and reduces turnover.

This brings me to now, I've taken this approach and have used my own money in lending, but am also bringing in friends and family to take part in these transactions so they can earn way better returns than with CD's.

I navigate through cities and towns, identifying areas that are both friendly and challenging for STRs.
