For example, I'm eying a 3 unit multifamily that costs $995,000 but the best rent it will bring in in is $6200 (I know this b/c I study the neighborhood & have 3 rental units a few blocks away).  

In many ways, @William Murrell , I do feel the same way as you and @Lance Johnson , no doubt there are risks and potential long term issues if not approached correctly, with eyes wide open.I had a long talk with a colleague leading up to my interaction with one homeowner with MH issues and he was really great about clarifying the importance of bringing in other competent family members or community support into the picture from the get go.

About 8 or 9 families bought up shells on Linden with an eye towards renovating them, and some of the renovations were fantastic.  

I will make sure to review this information and keep a keen eye out for any additional information that will be useful in the future.

As far as getting your rental noticed in a sea of other rentals, A tip I use when PCS'ing to a new duty station is to look at the area through my target rental eyes. 

You must be prepared to keep a close eye on the situation.

Which would net me a loss of about 200 dollars a month.Or I could sell the property and basically after realtor costs and prepayment penalty I'd be pretty close to breaking even after spending 10,000$ on a downpayment last year.I am actually moving back home with family so I will not be paying rent and I can handle paying a 200$ loss for the time being but I was thinking I will keep my eye out for a Rental Investment Property down home and when I see one I can "transfer or port the mortgage".

You could also look into doing a 1031 exchange or sell your note off for enough to buy the property you have your eyes on.

Haven't had anyone remove them yet but I will keep an eye out when I do my regular inspections.One tenant seems to keep jamming up her disposal.

I will keep an eye on this thread.
