Have the current homeowner try and file a wind/hail claim before the sale goes through.  

As long as your mortgage interest rates are locked in you can ride out any down turn because with every down turn the demand for rentals either stay the same or go up, rarely are they effect and if they are its not a huge amount like SFR.

Buy the best cabin you can possibly afford to ride you through the tougher times.

SEC 8 provides both the landlord and tenant with free rent insurance that allows them to ride over life’s bumps without disrupting their housing.

It's going to be a fun ride!

The tenant would promise the manager to pay on a certain late date and then never pay that day - my manager would then try to evict her whereafter the tenant would ride it out and pay just before she got evicted.

If you’ve been comfortable with 15 year note at 2.2% and you want to ride that out until you’re debt free, that’s great.

Find a professional you like and trust,  maybe get a backup or two, but find and ride that horse as they will help represent you for your benefit.   

All hail the One True North!
