You really to examine your options with everything and be very choosy who you let run it for you!!! 

When you have about 10 doors, get the CPA involved.

However, if you’re running an investment group in another market, we’re open to licensing it or finding a way to make it work for both parties.If this sounds useful, DM me or comment below, and I’d be happy to share more details!

It's running a business NOT renting a house.  

It all started with removing some interior walls and changing the floor plan, removing a chimney, adding a bedroom and bathroom, installing patio door to the backyard, and completely renovating every other interior element What was the outcome?

Quote from @Devin James: When running numbers on an investment property, I focus more on equity growth than monthly cash flow.Here’s why:If I can acquire a property at a low basis and add significant value, I can: 1) Sell and reinvest elsewhere 2) Cash-out refinance to recapture my investment.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

In his words, this is away around the due on sale clause that you can run into in a sub - to transaction.My question - if the seller puts the property in a trust, will this avoid the potential of a due on sale clause?

And at the top, you need three key people: an artist (to deliver a great product), a manager (to keep things running smoothly), and an entrepreneur (to drive it forward).

Comparing just those two things, you would save way more money in the long run by avoiding the annual mortgage interest.
