She actually was a junior attorney in the closing of my house and decided to no longer practice law and become a realtor instead,  her legal knowledge is extremely helpful.When you are buying you can use my strategy. 

I would suggest having 3 different strategies. 

.🎯 The Buffett Dividend Strategy Coca-Cola remains one of the best examples of Buffett's philosophy in action:1988-1989: $1.3 billion investmentHeld for 30+ yearsGrowing dividend income streamShows the power of buying quality assets and holding for cash flow💳 The American Express StoryBuffett began buying AMEX in 1964 during the "Salad Oil Scandal" crisisMade a larger investment in 1991Berkshire now owns about 20% of American ExpressThe investment has generated billions in dividend incomePerfectly demonstrates Buffett's principle of buying great companies during temporary troubles (just like smart real estate investors who buy in good areas during market dips!)

We believe that you set your strategy early on during acquisition, and as such, were primarily motivated by cash-on-cash returns and the strategy, with all of its pitfalls, did result in very reasonable IRR over the many years we have held.   

We've utilized the VA loan for our current home, and this strategy has worked well so far.

This seems like a no-brainer to me and fits well into a vertical integration strategy (I'm also thinking about managing other people's rentals as even more vertical integration (aka side money).  

Originally posted by @Danny Johnson:@Luke Grogan I'd love to talk strategy with you regarding the systems you've been looking at. 

The seller will always retain the equity and would receive annual distributions - and could structure the agreement with an exit strategy that makes them comfortable.
