If you buy something as an investment property you might be able to get 10-15% down, but the rate isn't going to be as good, I'd recommend 20 or even 25% down if you can, but even then the interest rate is still going to be higher than it would be on an owner occupied loan at 5% down. 

Well, you should be an investor yourself.

or will it still be there?

There must be a little more to it then.

The mortgage alone has to be at least $4 grand a month. 

If it is only a week or so, I wouldn't be terribly worried.

As you should be a disciplined investor.

I have flipped  properties and when the tenet destroys the inside from having to replace sheetrock to fixing cement that was placed in the toilet to AC unit being taken, New HVAC being replaced, the list goes on.

In some states there may be some benefit, but personally I have not seen a reason why a land trust was ever needed. 

Most hard money lenders have one, even though in some instances it may not be required.
