I'm not sure this model fits and Yuma might be out of his range, but he might be able to connect you to an experienced flipper in Yuma, if that's the way you want to go.

This method works similar to the Rent-to-Own model, but it is just cleaner.The last strategy that is similar is seller finance.

@Craig Curelop I'm familiar with their model but I'm not a huge fan of it.

Seems every time I get one of these "free" or "Online" they make assumptions I don't think match mine and most have some math errors, even if minor.In addition, you can do forward-looking things like skew of pricing vs. return/CFBT and modeling with what happens is you increase rents 2%/5%/10% annually.

Proximity to colleges and public transportation is vital for the room rental model from what I found. 

@Matt Clark Lexington doesn't have an affadavit form to spell it out..but I looked at the Roanoke one with the assumption that Lexington's model would be similar...this is what it says under the contractor license exemption section:------------------------------------------------------------------I am 1) the owner/landlord of a residential rental property or am directly employed by (not acontractor for) the owner/landlord performing work on my property, AND 2) if I am paying anyone toassist me, those individuals are licensed contractors*, AND 3) this work does not involve initiallyestablishing/constructing the rental unit.

The reason I'm leaning towards the ready to rent model is that it's the first time I've invested in real estate aside from my own home and I'm nervous.

And, I believe, the stability of these type of homes and the rental model you are working with will only solidify due to COVID and an impending economic short-fall for the following reasons;1.

The only way to eliminate that is to change your model. 

I am looking at a standard model without all the bells and whistles.
