I need about 10 homes total to make up my salary in W2. 

Quote from @Chris Anderson: My wife owns a portfolio of 2nd position mortgages we are looking to leverage. 

My last purchase i am up ~$1m working it very part-time over the last 3 years and i have some small (for the equity position, ~3k/month) cash flow.  

That’s a problem if trying to enforce a security position as a lender or Noteholder.You may gain control but economics will dictate structuring a deal to pay the problem spouse something as a “lovely parting gift.” 

That's how I've done it in the past. i try to offer a base salary with incentives uncapped.

I'm saying you invest with appreciation on my mind, and make sure you're situating it to remain cash flow neutral to positive via other mechanism.

@Julian Martinez The good thing about your position is that if you decided to sell the property you can qualify for the 121 exclusion, and qualify for a 1031 exchange.

If the answer is none, then it is time to re-evaluate the plan.1 deal closed (September 2024)1 deal scheduled to close 23 December,2 deals look to start off 2025 in a better position.5 dispos are rural property30+ follow-ups I didn’t hit the goal.

But I would say I have the personality for it and we were in a good position to take advantage of it.
