The rents have risen, but property values have risen much fast, bringing down the ROI from 10%-14% to 7%-10%....but of course considering that you can leverage these with 30 year financing and low interest rates, these are still amazing investment vehicles.

My primary vehicle for those 10k hours is the phone.

They would not be involved in the purchase of a vehicle you buy, so why would they be involved in any other private purchase you make, even if it is a piece of real estate. 

It is a great vehicle of investment for those that have busy successful careers but still want to partake in the benefits of investing in large real estate deals. 

Because of this, many investors see this strategy as a win in 2 ways:  first, they are able to invest 100% of their gains into another investment vehicle without paying tax and therefore gain the benefit of 100% of their capital's exposure to the new investment; and second, they are essentially creating tax arbitrage between their tax bracket rate and the flat recapture rate. 

The reason I ask is that it is technically a recreational vehicle, however its going to be rented on a lease agreement for 6-12 month basis.  

If the vehicle has monthly payments, you should consider selling it and buying something cheap and affordable.

This varies by state and area.Second check the vehicles per day traffic count.

Knowing what your real goal is should help you focus on the appropriate vehicle to get there.

A car loan is good vehicle for getting 15K.
