I'll use your questions and information when interviewing the architects tomorrow and relay what they say.

Welcome to the site, youll find endless resources, help and information here to help you build your portfolio.  

You can automate rent collection and other functions as well. 

Any information is good information!  

Thank you John for this information, I'm interested in also learning Buy and Hold properties would you mind me sending you a message to further discuss the process?

The wealth of information there is amazing. 

I can't not find the original information I found on this to find more details, but I recent came across someone that is buying a good amount of  these properties and thought there might be a chance for me to get in with them and learn more about this acquisition process. 

No one knows; it's a function of interest rates and local market conditions.

Where would be the best place to get access to this type of information?

I have done a fair amount of research already on the topic here on BP but nothing contained the information regarding the above sale avenues.
