Finding the right property eliminates the majority of hassle you'll get as landlord. 

SAY THE ABOVE IN YOUR OWN WORDS, BUT DON'T DEVIATE-  NOTE: LET YOUR BUYERS KNOW TO USE THE SAME AGENT WHO IS LISTING THE PROPERTY CURRENTLY AS THEIR LISTING AGENT WHEN THEY ARE READY TO SELL-  YOU AND BUYER THEN COMPLETE THE ASSIGNMENT CONTRACT - (INDICATE YOUR SPREAD TO THE BUYER- BEFORE THE CLOSING- WOULDN'T HURT HAVING THE BUYER INTRODUCE HIMSELF AS ONE OF YOUR FINANCIAL ENTITIES-- THIS WILL A) ELIMINATE YOUR BUYERS ELEMENT OF SURPRISE WHEN HE SEE'S YOUR SPREAD AT CLOSING B) SO THE AGENT OF SELLER ISN'T CONFUSED OR FEEL MISLEAD, CALL THE AGENT BEFORE CLOSING TELL HIM THAT YOU HAVE ALOT GOING ON SO YOU WILL BE HANDING THE PROPERTY TO YOUR FINANCIAL BUSINESS PARTNER (AKA CASH BUYER) HOWEVER , NOTHING YOU AND THE AGENT AGREED UPON HAS CHANGED.

We will use cash flow to eliminate debt and not use cash flow for personal income until they are all paid off.We want our next primary residence to be our last family move.

The downside is that borrowers would be required to pay the mortgage on the full cash out amount from loan inception, the benefit would be that the actual interest rate could be closer to the 7%'s than the 10-11-12%'s (also with an interest only repayment option) and the need for a new mortgage (second loan on the target acquisition) could be eliminated if the equity position on the refinance is large enough.

Any cities that constantly change rules in a major way looking to eliminate rentals I just avoid completely - personally.

If “wholesaler” (used in the sense of contract flipping, not people who close on purchase and resell) were required to disclose in writing to home sellers that they are not purchasing the home, are only trying to “flip” the contract, and the sale will only close IF a buyer at a higher price can be found, would this eliminate the need (if a need does exist) for government regulations being enacted and or for “wholesalers” to be licensed real estate agents?

Real property is held outside the retirement account, and while tax is paid on income/rents, depreciation will defer about 30% o the income, and the new tax law may eliminate tax on another 20%.  

Taking way your ability to contact the tenant eliminates your ability to keep the PM honest.

That eliminates the stress of managing a major long distance rehab and we can get back up an running with a new property in less time.

To me that would be simpler and also eliminate any additional expense to generate and record any additional documents.
