I find myself "googling" for every repair that comes up even though many of the jobs are small and could be completed fairly easily by a "jack of all trades" type (or me if I had more time!). 

I’m an agent in northern Iowa, we sent out mailers to owners of hog confinement building, informing them we have people looking for this type of property.The only snag for most sellers, is our attorney says you cannot 1031 from these buildings into farm ground.

I have several conventional loans for the types of properties you describe.

I've typically never touched these types of units. 

I think that came about during the great recession where those type of deals were much more accessible. 

I want to avoid any type of loan or Mortgage.

Or is this the only type?

You can buy the type that are guaranteed for 10 years to reduce chirping.

That will stop those types of calls.

Is there usually a premium paid above what market rent is , or is there a profit sharing type of model used ?
