Quote from @Stuart Udis: As I am sure is the case with many investors, my residential and commercial leases continue to evolve.

Although I don't have much experience in this field yet, I am passionate about real estate and hope to continuously learn and grow in this industry.

Seems like a very strict penalty if this is not followed through.The CTA provides that willfully reporting or attempting to report false or fraudulent beneficial ownership, or willfully failing to report or make updates to the reported data shall be punished with a civil penalty of up to $500/day while the violation continues (up to $10,000) and a criminal penalty of up to two years in prison. 

Many banks securitize their loans (bundle them together) and sell the loans to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, while continuing to service the loans, that is collect your payment.

Right now its slim pickings in real estate for properties that will cash flow or see any significant appreciation. of course they are always out there but a lot harder to find.The other question is why do you want to continue to grow?

The new buyer brought a new down payment that made me whole and then some, and despite the original buyer falling behind, I continued making the underlying payment on the mortgage with reserves from his original down payment.

@Doug Smith: What you are describing is an illegal scheme called "equity skimming" which is investigated by the Financial Crimes unit of the FBI with very serious punishments.

Successful individuals must learn to accept uncertainty, maintain a flexible mindset, and continue to invest.

I have three right now that its time to get rid of as they do not fit our model nor do I want to take the time to continue to manage these (even with a PM).

<<< Correct, that is exactly what I am referring THIS IS your tradeoff most of the time when using turnkey companies AND WILL CONTINUE to be your tradeoff even when using a realtor IF YOU DON'T VERIFY YOUR NUMBERS.
