Another option is to put an electronic deadbolt on the front door with a non-locking door knob.

All investors look forward to this concept I suppose, but curious if we'll see days ahead where 'nobody' (with regard to the general public) will want to buy real estate 'at any price' - as it seems to happen in other types of asset markets from time to time.   

Publication 336 (cash method section) gives a clear example very similar to the situation described where constructive receipt was made because the agent of the taxpayer received payment for the taxpayer. 

With current interest rates, and they are at least 1% higher with potentially additional points for non owner occupied property, it is hard to find properties that will allow for positive cash flow after paying the mortgage, if you are looking for money for the down payment from a private lender, those are normally at higher than market and I am not sure it would be possible to pay it off.... please remember you need to take into account that you may not have a tenant for a certain amount of time, a tenant may stop paying rent, or you will have a big ticket item to fix, so I would wait if I were you and save to have enough for the down payment and closing costs and perhaps some money set aside for repairs. you also want to make sure that you have your own emergency fund outside of the money needed for the investment property because life happens ....

If credit scores are fine, and you are just new to the work sector, then I would suggest doing a conventional loan with a strong income "non-occupying coborrower". 

Problem is it doesn’t exist as a “public” offering.  

But the places we all encounter that could only have a wheelchair ramp put in that intrudes into the public sidewalk (which neither the landlord nor the tenant owns, and now the sidewalk may not be sufficiently wide or accessible for a wheelchair), or that would require tearing down the storefront's façade (envision a storefront right up against the sidewalk), are grandfathered in. 

Head over to bank rate or and take a look at the mortgage calculators, plug in the numbers and get an idea of what the property needs to generate to satisfy the intended debt.You still have to underwrite the deal for the non-finance expenses as well(typically 40-50% of the gross rents). 

The rules are pretty complicated and the only people who really know all the terms and rules thoroughly are the Rent Levelling Board.Caveating that I’m not an attorney so go seek your own advice but I clarified a few things at a recent rent levelling hearing (which are open to the public and you can find the schedules with a simple Google).

I had constant issues with the local government and the taxes were absurd.
