Our family loves great restaurants, entertainment, etc. and would find it difficult to lose access to that.No state income tax states get major bonus pointsWe love the outdoors. 

Only reason I was leaning eviction is because otherwise it would make it difficult to do rehab while people are living there.

I currently have a zero-balance HELOC on it.

Although depending on the market, that can be difficult.  

Obviously the lower the better, however keep in mind if you are competing with other cash buyers, the EMD becomes something the seller looks at when reviewing the offers.POF is easy to just show the account with balance or get a letter from the bank (I've done both).

These professional softwares are expensive and difficult to use.Does anyone use any softwares besides Argus they can recommend?

The more units you own will make the dis-occupancy less painful.The best way to get owner-financing, is to show then how much more the'll make as well as spreading out their income and how the possible income tax liability would probably be less which can be delayed as long as the loan has a balance. 

I have also read about buying lower priced $50k properties all cash but that seems to lose the value of leverage and thus give smaller cash flows.I've been reading a lot about HELOCs and from advice I'm reading, I gather to really only use a HELOC as a quick temporary purchase vehicle since technically the lender could call the balance due at anytime.
