However, typically if you buy cash, that percentage tends to be lower than if you borrow.

A hard money lender or private lender may have different down payment options but don't expect anything much lower than 20%.

If anything it would help lower your DTI. 

That would be an another red flag.As many realtors on BP have stated, too many folks run towards a lower rate, not realizing that a lower rate is not the end all, be all of getting a loan to closing.

Deals are common like this where if your buying turnkey parks, your going to pay a lower cap rate, and get lower cash on cash return. 

You could also get a 203k loan from a bank and you're only looking at 5%-15% down and deferred interest plus a lower rate.

That person could also setup the system/process and train someone at a lower level to manage the day-to-day.I know I didn't give you an answer on pay rates, but I have seen it time and time again; clients hiring under-qualified talent and paying the price in the long run.

They offer it in-person for a lower price, which I'd likely enjoy more, but I simply don't have the time to do it that way. 

To Omar's point, I do think I will have to work with conventional loans and see what lenders will let me have a lower down payment.

Hence, a property's intrinsic value (appraised value) might be higher but its selling value will be lower as the buyer has all the power.
