I can follow up  with you to see what the local experts think about what is the best method in limiting any tree loss/damage to the property.

From what I can see, the deed method can involve some more up-front costs, some of which you can negotiate or opt not to have   (seller buyout - unless seller agrees to wait; attorney if you want one involved; recording deed; notary, etc).  

While I understand the methods you described for obtaining loans and renting properties when it's acceptable, I'm still trying to figure out how one can use that rental income to count toward their overall income when they go to qualify for the next purchase.

At the same time you do need to have a least a little bit of patience for these methods to generate enough leads.

What are your best methods that works for you?

The only concern I have with this method is not being able to get regular mortgages in my name after I get too many.
