Get to know the area, investigate soak it up. 

If someone wants to do that, well I guess that's up to them if they want to take that risk, but in ANY major claim, whether its a fire, injury, etc the ins co will investigate the heck out of things and will almost certainly figure out the true story and deny the claim.

I would definitely take advantage of the relatively low interest rates and secure a loan rather than pay all cash.In the meantime, I would investigate some passive investing real estate strategies like apartment syndications.
