In 2013 I purchased my first flip house for 18k and remodeled it while collecting unemployment.  

NO PERSONAL INFORMATION IS COLLECTED!!

The OP most definitely needs to get clear on his state laws regarding loan collection and late fees which are not similar to rent collection and late fees.

Lastly, there is one big decision to make: allow them to sublease, and they will collect rent and manage the other side (can be fraught with problems), or don't allow them to sublease and you still have to manage the other tenants until they execute on their first right of purchase.

They make a percentage of collected rent, and also do most maintenance and repairs using their own crew, which I am billed for.

It is okay to collect an earnest money deposit upfront and you are not obliged to be at the closing table.
