And that's fair since we know not everyone is honest about their listings.

I am currently ending the co-ownership because my dad seriously screwed me over & I have no idea if it'll end with me getting half the fair market value now or waiting until my parents die before I assume it. 

A few tips: maintain a solid credit score, organize your financials (especially your proof of funds), and be ready to show that you have a solid plan for your investments.

I currently own 4 units in 8 unit complex and i had to pay from my own pocket for cutting down trees because hoa has no money and the other units members dont' want to pitch and could care less also they dont' maintain there budlings which makes the complex look bit down. 

I just segregate risk (and costs money to maintain). 

Renewals and rent increases- Research market rates; 3% is fair, but adjust if you’re far below market.

Pro:  In spite of the amazing advances in home office colour printing technology, most national governments take a fairly dim view of you producing your own money.

Fannie does have a guideline that allows a property to be deeded over to an entity so long as the original borrower is also in the entity, but you have to wait 6 months of seasoning and maintain continuity of ownership.  

All of my assumptions were based on that 2 unit residential and are fairly accurate between rental rate and ARV. 

If they are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as verification that policies are enforced equally and fairly by their entire staff.6.
