However most states require the landlord to attempt to re-lease the unit and once it is reletted the new tenant takes over.

After the 5 years, I effectively own the property free and clear and can reap all subsequent cash flow.The major hurdles with this plan (that I can think of at least) include:- Creating complicated legal documents that attempt to lay out how much cash the seller is owed each month- Finding sellers who are willing to put up with the hassle of this type of transaction, especially for the smaller deals I am looking forThe biggest 'pro' to this idea, however, is that the seller gets residual income for 5 years (which may seem like an eternity to some people) and I, the buyer, accomplish my objectives in acquiring homes w/ less money down and setting myself up for cash flowing properties in Years 6 and beyond. 

I would do this for 3 years until I leave and attempt to remotely manage the property with the help of a PM.Rent Estimates - 1 Bed (2.1k) 2 Bed (2.8k) Both Conservative Averages as of 4/2020Here is the Calc: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

Yes that was what I was attempting to get at.

And this eviction will stick to your personal record for 7-10 years of your life, and it will make it almost impossible for them to rent anywhere.Every single tenant that I have explained this too has never even attempted to skimp on rent.

I am looking for recommendations on which CITIES should I attempt to purchase the property.

I've found houses listed for rent on Zillow for over 100 days vacant and will attempt to purchase them from the landlord. 

I don't care if it's regular wear and tear or damage caused by the tenant, I want to know and I don't want the tenant to attempt to fix anything. 

I tried uploading my picture but I am still unsuccessful after many attempts. 

Cut off all communication from the tenant, including promises to pay or attempts at negotiation, and let the lawyer clean up the mess.While your attorney is handling that, you should be looking for a property manager.You can start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.
