It's a chain reaction.Say they are two weeks late....naturally they are going to be late again the next month by about two weeks. 

You also need to be aware that custodians are passive in nature and simply process transactions at your direction.

A natural mistake.Do NOT buy that property.

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

This way you'll think "Damn...he may have something on me" and you'll just send him his money.keep in mind nothing is serious as long as its not a criminal act any threats of this nature are just laughable and some one is watching to much Hollywood TV / Movies.. real world simply does not work like that. now folks can try to take a poke at you on Social media.. there is some weird site about rating real estate agents in Oregon and some one I have no clue who it is .. posted something negative about me..

Fixed some walls, new paint inside and out, new flooring throughout the home, cleaned up the yard, new water heater, new natural gas line to the home to replace a propane tank, put in baseboards throughout the home What was the outcome?

Generally a bank will require the buyer to still put some down payment down (~10% minimum) so that they have some skin in the game, there have been local banks that allow 0% down if the seller if carrying 30% or more.Pledge other assets that the bank can use as collateral for the down payment.

Sure you'll get some efficiencies of scale, but that will also depend on the nature of the property.

That said, a lot depends on how much time has passed since the set up and other factors like natural disasters, drainage etc.
