Even people who can still afford to vacation will find a less expensive/more accessible place to go.Or, as @Lucas Carl mentioned, large properties designed for groups will probably take a big hit, as it'll be harder for all parties to spend the money to vacation together.I feel pretty secure with mine.  

Pennsylvania has a big logistics industry, Ohio can offer strong cap rates. it honestly depends on the investor, what they like, the industries they believe will support the security of their purchase, the distance you are willing to travel, the amount of passivity you want in the investment you make etc. 

I was just trying to think outside the box as someone who wants to retire in 15-17 years and would love to have the security of a fixed rate loan that would presumably be paid off when I retire.

Would my available cash, good credit and collateral be enough to secure a bank line of credit?

I say if you’re not happy with their performance then go get a GREAT realtor.

I am fortunate in life, inherited some funds, an watching them barely outpace inflation, all tied up in securities. 

For example, you buy the place and the tenant could claim the Seller allowed them to paint the walls black or that their security deposit was twice what the Seller claimed.

@David OlsonI am in no way an expert at this but I believe when you are making a cash purchase the main team players are:Attorneys, Title Company, Inspector and Appraiser (occasionally)Attorneys: Using legalese to get the purchase contract in writing Title Company: Perform due diligence to make sure there are no liens against the propertyInspector: You already covered thatAppraiser: To determine the price of the property at its current state and after repair value.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

After seven days, she finally paid me the rest of the moving in fee, which is first month, and last month + security deposit.
