I got out of those and since I bought my rental properties, I may go back and buy REITs in different sectors such as public storage types of maybe healthcare again...but once you have physical real estate there's really no need for mREITs...I wouldn't think so anyway.

It is true that I should learn how to be good at my primary job first, then worry about physically working on real estate.

Physical damage is a separate.After vetting, I'd hire a roofing contractor or 2 to get up there and assess the damage. 

The lender can exercise the “due on sale” clause if the name(s) of the buyer are not the same name(s) as the members identified as the owners of the LLC.  

Has anyone changed the physical address of a house to another street?

For non-commercial residential, it should be the current market value using the most appropriate comps (recent, physically near, similar property type, avoid the outliers (the lowest and highest sales)). 

My job was in a mechanical field and relied heavily on manual labor and physical ability.

How do you narrow down the list of potential deals without physically seeing what needs to be fixed in each home?

Make sure you physically go out and look at properties.

But if they want to be hard-nosed about it and tell me in no uncertain terms to either pay up now or pay a lot more in higher fees (bad credit rating, public notices on my record, eviction, and so forth), I accept the fact they have the legal right to exercise their nuclear option.As far as I know, everyone faces the same potentially harsh consequences when something goes wrong (for example, the tenant in the White House can be evicted for committing high crimes and misdemeanors).
