One can be compassionate and caring not just in one's day job but also in the way one treats tenants and other team players (contractors, agents, maintenance people).

@David Song, the SFRs usually have the lowest HOA fees, at least the ones that are not in so-called resort/vacation home communities.

That is still an option but that would be my last resort.

One of the national bidders who is known as a bad player, bid way to high. 

It introduces a new player into the game and someone that may very well scare you off if they bring something up.

@Wade Sikkink, that is completely true that you most likely won't be working with the same players.

We have never had to resort to this, or ever continue to a full eviction.  

The biggest employer is the Pearl River Resort, part of the Choctaw reservation.

It's a high-risk/high reward or bust business for what I consider to be pretty deep pocket players. 

Of course, my suggestion would be a last resort to the two previous recommendations given (as I like theirs better anyway) but see about raising private funds from friends and family for the down payment of the seller is absolutely adamant about 20%.But as one mentioned.
