Removing trees is expensive (trust me) and they do have benefits like shade and privacy.

It depends on IF the commercial lender pays to report or not. so do, some don't. and what is the benefit of not being on a credit report? 

Although I enjoy the benefits of working for a company I am beginning to get tired of the corporate grind. 

The benefit to the seller is that they get 0% down deals with lower than average interest rates for commercial deals (Seller carrying 25-50% note at negotiated 0% interest) and have theoretically infinite returns with 0% down.

What benefit does this provide them?

The benefit with an electronic lock is that if the tenant isn't present you can simply txt them their new PIN so they can enter when they return.

My suggestion is to focus on loan paydown, property appreciation, and tax benefits rather than the cash flow or lack there of from the investment.
