I live in Cali, but after running the numbers on numerous houses here it has become obvious that this area is not necessarily ideal at the moment, never mind the other legal issues.

@Or Y. well, on the one hand you are correct - higher dp means more secure cash for the bank, but it also means they make less in interest so you can see why their ideal situation is a moderate downpayment with a high loan balance and long term from someone they know can afford to repay the loan plus allllll that interest.

While the crime, and types of crimes may not be ideal, you're most likely going to be buying buildings are great discounts and with renovation, will be creating large equity positions for yourself based on other renovated buildings.

Follow on, can the tenant threaten that the lease has been revoked, if they haven’t received within a business day...after he started moving in and decided the furniture wouldn’t fit?

Such as 15% or ideally %10.Any help would be appreciated!! 

They want the handsome, fit, obviously competent woodsman to come along and show them the way through the dark forest.

What's the best order to start assembling a team, and where does the purchase of the property fit it?

I guess it is just a matter of finding what fits one's individual investment strategy, and what kind of cash flow is acceptable.

Also, I'd suggest only doing M2M leases,  people trash the place when they feel trapped and don't care.. we always do M2M in C-/D+ properties, just in case it's not a fit for either party. 

Most agents would be willing to sign you up for daily/weekly automated emails to show you homes that fit your criteria, almost all of which will of course be sold before you return.
