Every single person I've encountered burns out quicker and we can derive no income from it.

I know this type of property will help me build financial independence much quicker than SFH's, but I don't have the $ for the large down payments that these properties will require.

Tripp,It's not a bad thing to have a 15 year mortgage, it gave you more equity in a quicker amount of time, now you have it to invest in another.

Which is great if your on the correct path, however, if your wheels then are not pointed in the right direction you can crash and burn quicker too.

Looking to scale this thing a bit quicker than my starting days, so any help is appreciated.  

I know carried interest “loophole” would benefit the GP but if I’m an LP why wouldn’t I want money returned quicker in this scenario?  

If you start later in your career, you have some cash saved up and develop skills that can take you off to a quicker start and this is good because you don't have much time left ;). 

@Jason White, I can only dream of the scenario where i recoup more money than I had paid for the house in the first place - that would be an easy resolution for me - just get the money; sell to another investor as-is and walk away.

The quicker I pay off the loan, the quicker I can get that money "back in the game."

But that being said, then it will kick start your savings rate to be ready for the next one quicker.
