You can definitely integrate Zelle/Venmo into your systems but there's easier ways. 100% agree with this explanation BUT I think there is a sweet spot not mentioned. 

Picked up a sweet 9 unit last year. 

Give some consideration to the amount of money you want to invest for a down payment plus any closing & renovation expenses here too, although if you find a sweet deal you can find outside money to extend your reach.Next run the property through a quick analysis.

Sounds like a sweet deal.

You could definitely AirBnB a room in SD too - kinda the sweet spot of renting out a room and airbnb'ing a condo. 

The assets are sized in that sweet spot of $5-$10M, where it's too small to afford a compliance department, but big enough to meaningfully impact the lives of the operators, investors, and tenants who are all interrelated. 

Trying to find the sweet spot between home values and daily rates/monthly revenue/demand/occupancy etc.

The sweet thing about this one is only 20% down, whereas most non recourse loans are 40%+ down.

It does seem that losing $50k is a sweet spot for unsecured capital in which $50 - 60k was what the majority of Mi investors had also lost.

Sweet!
