Brandon's book on Investing with No Money Down would be a good resource on creative financing.

It's at least worth checking out. http://www.indy.gov/eGov/City/DCE/Resources/Documents/2017/Abandoned%20and%20USB%20Brochure.pdf

For example, in DeRidder Louisiana, I could expect to get $740 per month in rent for an average $100k home purchase... but in the West End of Allentown, there are portions where I could expect to collect over $2,000 / month rent for the same investment.

He will probably be a great resource.

Park manager gets free lot rent 16 lots currently collecting lot rent for gross annual income of 42,168City Water/City Sewer Tenants pay all utilities besides water (water paid by owner)I feel that my expenses as listed in my rough numbers are very low. 

As for collecting monthly payments you hire a servicer for $20-25 a month and they will make sure there is insurance on the property, as well as escrow taxes and insurance.  

What are some basics to consider in this and any hint/tips/links for more resources to look into or podcasts on this?
