I supply a basic starter set of its ( a few rolls or TP, basic soaps etc) and let guests know that only an initial basic supply is provided so they know to pack ahead. 

I would focus on how you help sellers and setting realistic expectations for potential leads

Just set your tenants on 6 month leases and update the rents twice a year if it worries you that much.But if there are more restrictions, like a city-wide proposal that only allows you to increase the rents 3% per year, be on the watch for a MAJOR retaliation from landlords city wide.Here’s the thing about business-minded people… you can’t tax them.

That maybe a viable option for some of the investments as well.Also, I suggest setting up your property criteria and then reaching out to a few local commercial lenders to discuss your options.Lastly, if you're still figuring out whether you want to manage your investment yourself or to become an equity partner in someone else's deal, then potentially consider looking into syndications. 

I hope you got a team set up and ready to rock and roll for the midwest market you're picking.....

I see the risk in putting the land up for a specific value that is set and the land appreciating over the wait time. 

Because they don't always have the set policies and are able to make business decisions. 

We believe that we are going to set up an LLC taxed as an S-Corp. 

Some landlords do not have the skill set necessary to succeed in C neighborhoods. 

Can set you up with a search and send you wholesale properties.
