@Monique ODellHowever unlikely, I would imagine there is someone out there that could pull this off.Answer A) Could you find an off market apartment complex for $5M owner financing 10% Down?

Taxes for a multifamily like that will be higher than a single family, but I can't imagine that will mess with the cashflow too much.

I’d also imagine there are not too many good lots that would meet the zoning requirements of multi family and to have it rezoned would probably cause a huge fuss in those mostly residential neighborhoods.I think those neighborhoods will continue to do well as people seek areas with low crime, good school districts, and an easy commute.

I can imagine many sellers would turn a blind eye and let you deal with it after closing.

I say this because I’d imagine I will be taxed differently (maybe from both countries).

It sounds like the previous landlord did not take care of them so I would imagine things could get worse for you if you take them on.

I was imagining putting together some sort of package with the details of the deals like I mentioned above.  

I imagine that someone would be more willing to sell if they are comfortable and know your intentions.

I can’t imagine not doing month to month rental agreements.

With your job and school I imagine you don't have much time to fly back to view properties, take part in any of the management, etc.
