@Jack D. and @Wendy Liu, my friend told me that collection of rents, city government, and lack of appreciation all made him wish he had never invested there. 

Have you packaged yourself from a credibility standpoint?

There are so many mixed opinions on the internet by highly credible people which does not make it easier.Best,Mack

Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac are quasi-government entities that provide a person with up to 10 lower rate residential mortgages. 

It also allows you to send invoices and payment confirmations - we do this for all our tenants, and they seem to appreciate the credibility it adds, as well as the fact that they have records of all their payments.

The local Government has invested in the infrastructure immediately neighboring this subdivision (streets, commercial expansion) and new local business is on the rise in the surrounding area.

Safest loans out there, they aren't just backed by you and your credit and the collateral, they are also guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US Federal Government.

If everyone in the US ran their household budget the way the government/state/feds run a budget, run up debt, sell more and more bonds, and print more and more money - everyone would be broke.  

I love your thinking "big" approach, however there is a tariff war going on with the Chinese, they just had their second huge bank fail and the Chinese government is clamping down on out of country investing.
