If you place anyone in a regular retail rental with inept investing or management styles you will encounter those problems no matter who you rent to. 

On the other hand, if nobody goes by to check on the property regularly, you may not notice any lease violations.

Personally I prefer to have about 20% down if possible to make sure I have enough equity in the property in case rents go down or values go down and I’m forced to hold the property for a while untilThe market returns.

i personally use my regular phone but you could use a google voice number or an actual physical work phone with a different line. i'd do google voice so you're not carrying around 2 phones. :)

The owner wants to minimize the capital gains tax he pays so we want to suggest to him to do a master lease to us for "x" amount of time, and we pay his lease fee and hold the rest of the money in this time we will secure a loan to buy using the money we make as part of the down payment.

Anyone that exercises regularly knows that's not sustainable unless you're a teenager.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Mooresville.

What were your returns on investment during the holding period and then after the property was sold?

I've built a lot of homes over the years, but am now serious about acquiring as much as possible (buy and hold) and learning from all you trailblazers in front of me.
