There may be government programs that can assist with tax credits or low interest loans depending on where you are, but again, they will probably require experience.Hope this helps somewhat.

If you're ever looking for assistance, I have owned and operated multiple sober living programs for about 6 years now and also have been in the investor/landlord position.

Happy to assist.  

So outsourcing some degree of property mgmt would be a must... but the deal won't work paying a local property manager a large % of my revenue...Instead, I would set up my "boots on the ground" (cleaners, handyman), and would need an offshore virtual assistant to manage guests and coordination of my local team. 

If you ever need assistance or advice on managing your long-term rentals, feel free to reach out.

Alternatively, you can hire a title company to assist you.

Thank you for your time and assistance!

Instead, we decided to try a “cash-for-keys” approach, offering him financial assistance to peacefully vacate the property.My wife Shelly and I went to the property to speak with him in person.

I saw a mention of providing first time homebuyers more down payment assistance. 

They will also spot any terms that may not be favorable to you and can assist with negotiating the deal.Due diligence is key in any real estate transaction, but especially in off-market deals.
