You'd stay in the middle, collecting payments from the investor while making payments on that underlying loan.

(Full disclosure, I am a leadership and upper management consultant helping organizations with their projects and preparing their up - and coming managers for leadership roles.

My realtor just reached out to let me know he has a client building a house that needs a place to stay for 6 months. 

I stay away from things that are less than 1% just because it makes it very  hard to cash flow. $1,500 rent - $120 vacancy (1 month/year) - $70 insurance (guess) - $280 taxes (assuming 1.75% city/county) - $150 maintenance ( guessing 10%) -  $150 management (10%) - $780 mortgage interest and principal (20% down and 4.5%) = -$50   NEGATIVE CASH FLOW!!!!!!. 

I would be very careful commercial in small towns can stay vacant for EVER and a Day.just drive through any small town between Dallas and New mexico.. look down the main street.. nice brick buildings 90% vacant then on the outskirts of town a walmart and the associated fast food joints..the resi might work.. and maybe you change the commerical to cheap storage but put NO value in its cash flow would be my advice unless there is some compelling reason you think those would be leased.. if there was demand they would not be vacant would be my thought

Houses are staying listed for days not even weeks. 

        - lack / loss of functionality- i.e. no dynamic stays, no set long term stays settings showing in AirBnb      - severe data errors- i.e. numbers not adding up and showing up in the wrong place.  3. 

Keep posting and stay active on the forums.

I'll probably start multiple threads over the next few days to keep things organized. 

The only advantage to renewing their lease is "maybe" they would be more inclined to stay for an entire additional year.
