I know of a condo facility here in Savannah that requires all tenants to be approved by the HOA board before being given a lease.

you can try, but they are under no obligation to participate.If their lease is month-to-month or expiring soon, then you could require them to apply just like any new renter.

The legal requirements considering the fact that the project is overseas and the Sponsor can be either US citizen  or  foreigner 3.

A 15 year mortgage requires you to pay whatever the monthly payment is with no flexibility, with a higher payment.

@Matthew Porcaro How do you convert a 5 or 6 unit back down to 4 for the FHA requirements?

A lot of times people don't want to leave physical property though, if their heirs don't want to deal with it, or have to split it up, etc. so maybe spreading the cap gains out by using seller financing will be attractive.

Based on my research, it is possible to become financially free through real estate investing, but requires hard work and time.

Here's how I do my due diligence:1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where I think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then and only then do I pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

The best thing you can do for yourself (and most brokerages may actually require this, I'm sure it varies by state), is to shadow another agent and put yourself in a position where you can learn as an assistant.  

I would ask you property manager if they could explain the entire eviction process to you, and ask to shadow them to court and ask to see all the paperwork required to evict a tenant.
