Quote from @Preston Gealy: It's impossible to answer without seeing your entire lease.You have a Pro account, which includes the Lease Agreement Package under "TOOLS" at the top of your screen.

The issue on the price point of houses will remain affordability so it'll come down due to unemployment and be spurred by rate decreases & incentive packages.

Just had someone screw us that signed up to our Diamond Package and took advantage of us turning the property and leasing. $200 monthly flat fee and they walked away after we did the work and after 1 month.

Once Wall Street finds a way to massively “package” Investor loans, landlord loans, single family owner occupied loans, etc.

Ask yourself if you would buy those 5 properties as a portfolio package to hold. 

Found it extremely expensive to move forward with their package. 

If you can sell them as a package I believe you could go into a single property, maybe a STR in a location you like and turn that over to a PM and use it 2 weeks a year. 

With either option, you will need to invest in the same or similar furniture package. 

Our preference is to take ownership now, so that we have an element of control.

There is likely a phone number and persons name that will come up, that you can reference, since he is having bills that arrive to the mailbox and packages to the door with his name on them.You could make it a pre-condition to the seller that he allow a background check on the tenant before closing and your offer is contingent on your approval.Neighbors typically know what's going on in the neighborhood and will know who the guy is and if he is a trouble maker.He probably has a car and a private detective can run the plates.And so on.The information is readily available is the knowledge is worth knowing.
