It is when troubles pop up that having things sorted in advance helps. 

Be clear who is offering these opportunities to you and what is their motivation.

Joining some sort of group/program/mastermind is the way to go to build your network.

I would share the cold hard tenant ledger and let the next LL decide how to interpret it.As far as lying, acting as someone's accomplice in a fraud make you both rather bad people and sort of undermines your stated reason for looking to do this in the first place.

I found all sorts of things to reference for an eviction including excessive damage to the property, signs of an animal, lack of yard maintenance, oil spill on driveway, smoke detectors removed, the unit smelled of smoke, appliances that came with the unit moved off site ect... 

I assume that you would have some sort of guarantee on the lease if there is a hail storm. 

You are most likely going to have the best luck of finding a good seller financing deal by searching out motivated sellers yourself, building rapport and then explaining seller financing.

@Bridget Grant - in terms of your plans going forward, I recommend doing a risk adjusted minimum investment to get up and cash flowing while you get things sorted out with your lawyer.

Interest is long term appreciation though some sort of positive cash flow would be ideal.thanks so much !!

The seller was motivated to close quickly, and we negotiated a favorable price of $80,000, allowing us to secure the property at a discount and capitalize on its renovation potential.
