Tametra,If like to invite you to lunch sometime.

I'm new here so I'm sorry if this has been discussed, but Brandon invited me to post this here: Marriott now sells "Vacation Club Points" instead of timeshares.

Your invitation to PM you is completely against BiggerPockets rules.

There are less than 5 HUD homes listed here at the moment which gives you an idea of the competitive atmosphere for investing.

The atmosphere of collaboration is incredible and is my favorite company core value.  

They invite in other people to live in their apartment, likely collecting money for subletting a room.  

We invite sponsors to come present deals to our investment club members.

Then, when we look at Atlanta and Charlotte we see a good amount of supply because of the footprint of large institutiional buyers (i.e. invitation homes).That leaves the midwest (OH, IN, MO), TN, and the one off markets like Tucson and Albuquerque.

Is it possible to invite retail stores like CVS, Starbucks, Denny's etc.?

Since many here swear by SFD landlording, I invite a critique of my analysis.My numbers are based upon 2 assumptions I have picked up on here and elsewhere: (i) typical monthly rent should be from 1% to 2% of purchase price, and (ii) assume that repairs and insurance is about 50% of rent receipts.
