So you first have to transfer ownership. 

Set up Zillow alerts for all small multifamily that "sell" (when properties transfer ownership landlords will be more open to talking) Network with small multifamily relators about buildings that are under renovations and will have multiple units coming up that need to be filled (problem) where you can "pre-lease" the unit and pay the landlord the 1st day it's available (solution) Remember the name of the game is "How do I profitably solve problems for the people I want to work with!" 

Once the final payment is made by me, what prevents the seller of just keeping the deed, ie: what holds then seller responsible to transfer the deed via QCD or warranty deed etc?

@Tracy Tang @Steve SmithLook up the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other privacy laws.Not aware of a property management company (PMC), that knows what they are doing, that will give you access to a tenant's confidential info, including social security numbers, credit reports, etc. 

If they've rented the entire house as a group, then they need to figure out how to pay the rent, but you get the rent in full on the first of the month as a single transfer. 

Putting on my Project Management hat, we'd call that transferring risk.

If you are setting aside funds for capex, taxes, insurance, or other expenses that don't occur monthly, transfer those funds to Savings each month and hold them there until it's time to spend them.

@Christian Ryan,We now use rentredi.com, it's been pretty good so far, but payments take a long time (4-5 business days) to transfer.   

@Justin Walters If you send me the purchase price I can send you the base numbers.Generally speaking on a cash deal in MD that will be State Transfer Tax + State Recordation Tax + County Transfer Tax + Recording Fees.
