I like to bring my kids into mental exercises like this.

There are C or even B class assets out there who have low physical vacancy AND economic vacancy, i.e. tenants who do not pay on time.

I hope you didn't knock down any walls, do any physical work on the property, act as the general contractor, or manage the property yourself, as any of those could blow up your IRA per IRS regulations.

I steer clear of violent and physical offenses, but an old white collar crime does not register much on my radar.

How do have any ideas on buying and renting homes in another state or me not physically being there.

Too often people choose to buy in their own area just because it is physically close despite the (lack of) return.

At that date if they were still there the Sheriff would physically remove them and I had to be there to secure the home.  

This is why, if you are like Ben leybovich, you write "interest or more" notes, which is a cross between your options B and C, but with a built-in option to if, when, and how to exercise amortization.  

On the last day of the class, we conducted a role-play exercise in which Chris acted as a hypothetical seller while the students pretended to be the buyer, and you can tell from how Chris played his role that that he’s dealt with many sellers before.Having said that, I must say that his system – getting 0% seller financing in return for offering the seller a higher sale price – is not for everyone.

How would you be able to find the right contractors and the right property managers even if you have never physically seen the place?
