If the numbers don't work with it then don't force it and don't rush it.Always ask for full or partial owner financing the answer will sometimes surprise you.We just bought a property with 5k down and owner financing the rest at zero percent.

look for land with owner financing And I am sure you know this but location and safety will be paramount in the Jackson market there are simply areas the crime is far to high for this to be successful..

This allows us to save time for you as a resident and save money for the owner of the property. 

Things like your vacations, entertainment, toys, food, clothes, housekeeping, pets, guns etc.

The AP has to be open, notorious and hostile...those terms have a legal meaning and essentially it is that you as the owner have been fully deprived of your right to the property.Absent those items above, it sounds like at best they have another legal right which is a "prescriptive easement".

Know this: the #1 reason why landlords fail - failure to manage to the lease (source:  American Apartment Owners' Assn). 

@Jonathan S. you'll get burned if you buy real estate rentals and do not, "manage your manager".Even the BEST make mistakes and no one can catch every mistake.So, it takes a team effort between a PMC and an owner to make it work:)
