I do not have a lender right now, and I will need the 12-month rent history as well as various metrics on the property such as insurance quote (which needs property information in order to obtain), existing debt, and purchase price (which would be established while making offers).

Your current home would rent for $1800 and PITI (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance) is $1250.

So does the time to secure a property for sale, insurance and taxes will accrue.

Luckily my customers were pretty loyal to me but you get the point. 

They are in partnership with Obie for Fix & Flip type insurance (builders risk, etc).  

Lastly, make sure your tenants have renters insurance to cover their property.

As others have stated, it's tough to lose the various benefits (health insurance, 401k employer match, etc), not to mention the income itself. 

Keep in mind that many of these cheap homes are selling for less than a third of their insurance replacement value, which really means that the land has negative value - let that sink in.Most buyers who can actually qualify for a mortgage will get a PA for $200-300k and desperately want to upgrade their life.

double check your outlay of costs on arbitrage. you may not be paying to buy a property, but you will have to furnish it, carry insurance, and pay the owner their money too. and at the end of the day, the owner can stop your "business" and take it off the market or sell it at any time.
