The qualifications seem to indicate you need equity in another property or your own home - so I think it might be secured by that  - see below "Property ownership with ample equity."  

I was actually advised, when I attain more than 5-6 properties or more, I should then start buying under my own entity.

But I also believe that If I want to attain all of my long term goals as a REI that I am going to have to expand my comfort level and expertise into different areas of investing.

While I do believe there is a value I am adding to service my owners in attaining properties I couldn't sleep at night if I 1)got them a property that was at 100% FMV 2) charge them erroneous fees.

I guess 5 deals and profit of 25-50k in first year is attainable working on RE on a part time basis. 

This preserves your security and it gives you options to attain further cash flowing properties.  

Depending on what info I can attain from the city, I'm thinking a low ball offer, all cash, with quick close may potentially float.Does anyone have any advice to offer?

Although the thought of walking into a room full of strangers at this moment is imagined as intimidating, I am certain that once I attain a bit more knowledge and confidence, I'll be ready to walk the plank.Thanks for the responses, both.

Unless there is something significant I am missing I think you should do some more reading and research so you can find a project that will be both attainable and profitable for you.

It's not as easy as HGTV or the infomercials will have you believe but it will enable you to attain financial freedom if you put in the time & effort.
