How can I collect rent from these tenants without them paying me at my home address?

Want to make sure there is enough meat on the bone for myself, and the potential buyer to be able to flip, brrrr, etc. 3) Where/how can I find buyers to assign the contract to?

Look for more meat on the bone.

All the fix and flips were done after the fires.Bank appraisals always match offers,so how to leverage LTVs when there'sno meat on the bone?

Back in 2010-2015 the prices allowed TK companies to acquire, rehab and mark up properties and still leave enough meat on the bone for a buyer.

Its either in a small town, or no meat left on the bones (they probably wont get an offer on mls). 

I had a home in Idaho where my management company called me at 8 pm, told me the furnace was broke and the temperature outside was 5 degrees.

Stability and health insurance are important to me at this stage with a child in school. 

BR doesn't have anywhere near the volume of MF's, which makes finding tenants a bit easier for me at least. 

(casually) mention to everyone you know that you are considering getting into RE (as others have said, you need to put some meat on that even for yourself, i.e., what's your plan..start out with one house, or a duplex for you/family and rent out other unit, or what?).
