There s one more R, REPEAT!!!! 

If you get no resolution after reporting repeated documented incidents, step it up and get to a legal aid attorney.  

This way you have no mortgage, and your tenant is building equity in your home.Remember the last "R" is repeat.

And repeat for the 3rd house over the course of a year or two.

After this i will be working towards repeating this as many times as i can.Do i transfer it into my personal name?

Live in the 'worst' unit, renovate it and then move into the next unit and repeat.

Is the strategy to write off rental net income via depreciation and when it's over exchange and repeat?

At which point you would have most / all of your money back, and can rinse and repeat. 

@John MoorhouseIf you're born to the hustle, you're not afraid of learning things, you don't give a damn what other people think about you, you're willing to stick out putting money aside for years when everyone is spending at it and dismissing you with contempt and pity, when it comes time to poop or get off the pot you can make a decision and stick to it, you've got skin skin like an alligator, and the idea of repeated failure and humiliation does not paralyze you, you'll do great in real estate.Look around, do the online video course (Education tab, Free Course), ask questions.

If that's then plan for a longer hold and a higher cap rate.If this is your niche then go for it, figure out the best way to take these types of deals down which will include finding a financing strategy that works and is repeatable.
