I can see how this subject gets easily confused.

I can easily access most data and trends in the area or region for reports.

If you're paying off properties then you'd likely only need to leverage 1 or 2 at a time which could easily be done through any conventional lending process.

You can easily get stuck with a property that is no longer grandfathered from current zoning regulations if it has lost it's continuous use status(sat vacant for an extended period of time).

One is easily meeting the 50% rule and the other is not (it's at about 85%, which is ridiculously high, but it used to be our primary and it's going to be paid off in 6 years.

If you always have it in your name, the city doesn't know (as easily) a change in tenants has taken place.I don't know if commercial rentals are the same way for those cities.

Your area seems interesting because you can easily go low end or high end.  

The proof that a dog is not a pit bull is very easily available.

I was not as worried about the purchase price vs the current value as the property cash flowed well, rented easily, and the land would be valuable in 5-10 years when the zoning changes, as the lots boarding on 2 sides have already been re-zoned.

That is my 2015-2016 to make sure that everything is assumed easily in the case they are incompasitated or no long with us.
