Nothing just happens. There are a million different ways to make six figures, and they all work. Agent, flipper, wholesaling, creative deals, multifamily...you can make six figures as an employee too.

Your request needs to be answered with other questions.

What are you good at? 

What can you invest in your venture?

What education do you have?

How good is your network?

How disciplined are you?

How many books are you reading a year?

Maybe a couple different posts?

I am with eXp, and I think it is great - but I would say it eXp is not for everyone.  

If you want to see why I like it, check out passiveincomebroker.com

Using Private Money (not hard money) is great if you have relationships with the right people. Do you already have the lender in mind?

Run your numbers, and if the deal supports it, it is certainly worth using Other People's Money instead of your own. 

You can leverage and scale so much faster. 

If you have 100k and were thinking of putting all 100k of your own money into 1 deal, you could become cash poor. 

Additionally, you are only able to reap the rewards of one deal...and that is a lot of risk in one deal.

That same 100k, you can keep in the bank (if your private lender agrees to $0 down) and flip as many properties as the lender can afford to fund (and as many as you can manage).

Or, you could leverage it on 10 different properties at 10k down payment each (if that is what you and the lender agreed to).

You and your private lender can agree to any terms you want.  No monthly payments. Any interest rate. Any down payment. You can be as creative or simple as can be agreed.

Over time, you may be able to secure private lenders for both short and long-term loans. Cash, Self Directed IRAs, etc.

This one might be a little complicated. 

1. What state/city?

2. What non-profit?

Those answers might make it easier for someone with specific knowledge to help. I would personally talk to a local real estate attorney that specializes in landlord/tenant law.

@Brandon Stock

You could do it with rei blackbook, but adding a role field and have your workflow function differently based on the role of the contact.

I am looking forward to trying invelo too, but reibb is the most robust I have found so far.

@Stephen Burke

I looked at simple a while back. I think it was Joe McCall and his white labeled crm of another company.

REI blackbook is pretty robust. The automations you can create are second to none.

You also get websites and phones included, so no need for those extra services.

I think I have a free trial code for reibb. Message me if you are interested and I will find it.

You should look at some of the new built for you automation with reibb.

Great company and people.

@Gerald Arnold

Boy, I totally missed this mention.

Yes, I use reibb still.

I am beta testing a new CRM this month, but the automations with reibb will be tough to beat. Check out my site for their current promo.

@JC Gauthier

Not a bad place to start, but needs a paid plan and tons of customization for automation.

Try reiblackbook. I think they are giving away a few weeks right now. Hit me up if you need a code.

The automation is easy. Phone and websites included.

I am also beta testing a new CRM this month, and will update my website with the info if I like it.

@David Francis

To answer your question with a question:

Does it cash flow?

For me, if I like the cash flow - yes.

Am I getting I to bidding wars on the retail market for a primary residence? No.
