Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

The original grants were for an 42acre chunk of an 82 acre lot.

I can have separate bank accounts, debit cards, security deposit accounts etc. and now with new features like automatic recurring transfers things are even easier and time efficient 

Things to consider: daily internal operations, external branding and operations, lending, in addition to inside out *legal protection and outside in** legal protection, privacy/anonymity/identity protection and security...Prevention measures at different levels, preventing the attack from being initiated vs preventing the attack (lawsuit) being successful vs reducing the damage of a successful attack.... there are many elements and I see people pick one and argue about it without looking at the whole

Instead of increasing rent, I would look at having the security deposit increased to protect against wear and tear.

My biggest hurdle has been securing financing to work on multiple projects simultaneously.  

I should have also added that the reason I am pulled towards real estate as a wealth generating mechanism (I.e. the appreciation aspect) is that I bought my first house with ~$20K of my own money in Baltimore (supplemented with 6K of grants), bought at the right time and did a little fixing it up, used the proceeds from sale of Baltimore home to get into the lower end of the market in quickly appreciating Seattle.

@Noah SchulzThe previous owners' failure to disclose a back-paying arrangement complicates the situation, potentially leading to tenant disputes or security deposit concerns.

I have several questions - imagine being able to split up property ownership into tiny pieces or having every transaction out there for everyone to see, all secure and tamper-proof.

Combining these strategies often gives investors the best balance of cost, simplicity, and security.
