I am attracted to the concept of a hybrid turn-key provider or an operator that would source a wholesale deal, rehab it, and maybe even manage it on my behalf.

I'm sure you've been burned before, and if you're doing real business, you gotta operate like one or a charity if you want  but not both together right? 

In my opinion it’s important to stick with an experienced operator who preferably has full cycle experience and knows how to conduct themselves in a downturn. 

If you are operating a business you would raise the rent to market.

I am in the process of writing my operating agreement for my LLC in Florida and am naming myself the “Principal” rather than CEO or President. 

It's a proven concept that evicting as soon as rent is not paid will result in an overall higher ROI for a landlord then one who "works things out" This is why all large scale rental businesses operate this way. 

It will probably be a deal again at some point and great for the right operator.  

Not saying to let that influence you, but If I was a betting man that’s what I’d guess.

I'm not sure about construction loans, but the local banks will be your best bet.

If they have gusset plates then I would bet they should be replaced if they have signs of high heat damage.
