@Jordan Buie I can speak to the ownership issue.  

The best way to jump into buy and hold ownership is to target an owner occupied multi family home with an FHA loan - which means only 3.5% down payment.

But change always brings about anxiety for tenants, so best to keep things stable while the tenants get used to the new ownership.

“The public’s increasing willingness to rent – due to the difficulties many people are encountering getting into the region’s expensive real estate market – and forego property ownership is pushing many would-be home owners who are able to afford higher rental rates into the market.”According to the report, multi-family investment activity rebounded in the first half of 2015 with 26 deals (more than $5 million) valued at $370 million compared with 20 transactions totalling $186 million in the back half of 2014.

(Which adds an additional 20k average to my properties) The promise of home ownership gives them a much higher pride of ownership along with incentive to pay the payments.I will give you the specific process and forms I use if you are interested.Hope this helps.

Even if ownership all checks out, this still sounds like a lame excuse to keep a buyer from knowing what they're signing on for inside the house.

For example, form an LLC and capitalize it with investor money in exchange for some percentage of the ownership.
