The part that I can see being the most beneficial to us, personally, is the "REI Hub" which is the accounting piece that you can opt to pay for as part of your monthly subscription.

This could help decide if the income is enough.  

DM me, and I will send you contacts for attorneys, lenders, and accountants they have previously used.

My wife and I have overhauled our personal budget to reflect the 'pay yourself first' approach (allocate in order: income comes in -> invest -> donate -> fixed expenses -> variable expenses -> fun $$).We are looking to see what experienced people generally recommend for a holding tank for that 'invest' allocation while we target our first real estate deal.What financial vehicles have you guys used that works well for this?

Upon verification, the Landlord will pay you $2,000 cash, and both parties will sign a receipt acknowledging that your account has been settled.

Yes @Akash Sky that is considered ordinary income

Do you also create a virtual account for those? 

Then you need to account for soft expenses like Vacancy/turnover, maintenance, and capital expenses.

Figured there would be a few data points left out of the equation' that I would need to circle back with :) .There are additional units not rented at this time which could be rented to increase the income.

The only two ways to rectify this are (1) purchase the property far below market price or (2) significantly increase the property net income usually through some method of “repositioning”.
