I predict that the guys who are fully leveraged and cash flowing $100 per month will be motivated sellers when the next big correction happens.actually its either them or they walk and its their lenders selling that is what happened in that time period.. and was pronounced in certain markets.for me personally  I don't want to risk  my credit and finances and borrow 75k to make 1200 a year... or even 2400 a year if its a market that has a history of no appreciation and I don't feel there is going to be any significant appreciation.. 2 to 3% a year does not cut it.but I will take 500 a month negative or 10k a month negative if I think there are huge gains at the other end.. 

This is both a communication and a quality example.

Abandonment: If the GC stops working altogether for an extended period or doesn’t show up, then the project can be terminated.It’s best to communicate contract termination in a written way via certified email.

Agreed- with a long term rental you can be very clear and upfront about all the nuances/quirks of the property and what is included because the transaction has far more direct communication.
