Assuming you have a respectable FICO you can buy, with a FHA Loan (3-5% down, a 30 year amortization schedule, and a residential loan rate).

I feel since we were all full time workers and all men (typically less dramatic, no offense at all) we didn't have any problems among each other and we all respected each others desire to keep a nice and tidy atmosphere that we each called home.I had a friend who went through the exact same situation for all 4 years in a 5 bedroom SFH.

You just need some method to your madness and you also must be consistent going forward with respect to calculation of depreciation, interest expense if there is a mortgage (a portion could be an itemized expense on schedule A and the other could be a business expense on schedule E). 

You should be able to beat your mortgage interest rate, unless it is very high, with any respectable investment.

In that respect it's very similar to buy and hold real estate.

Read the terms of your sale " Neither Auctioneer, the Trustee, beneficiary or servicer (including their parent, subsidiary or affiliated entities) nor any of their respective directors, members, manager, employees, agents or representatives (collectively, the “Parties”), make any representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of any information provided, including but not limited to, the condition of the Property, the condition of title or descriptions of the Property.  Any documents and/or pictures posted on www.auction.com (the “website”) "The sale is final and no warranties are made    

That's how you lose trust and confidence with others, giving advice when you're not really qualified to do so.Your elderly recovering neighbor should not do anything, nothing, without her attorney with respect to any deed. 

Good tenants never pay late as they respect their contract.

Using terms like this is how you gain respect for your ideas? 

They are always respectful.
