Any time someone starts researching "real estate investing," they come across terms like "Dead Equity" and other things compelling them to be perpetually as mortgaged to the hilt as possible, so if they find you via any SEO or marketing efforts involving or targeting "real estate" and "investing" next to each other, it's often going to be too late for you.This is meant as productive feedback, please take it as such.

It is a very scalable business model and once the foundation is built can generate income into perpetuity with a proper team in place without being a time vampire. 

At which point, the "end date" is perpetually moved back each month until either party gives notice of non-renewal.

And I don't mean to be rude or come off as stereotyping, but a reason agents don't like flippers is that unless the agent has a stake in the deal a lot of flippers are notorious for not being loyal.

So for me that stereotype is intimidating to approach, but with that being said once I get my footing, I will seek out and leverage the hell out of someone's desire and drive to get into the business...I'm the newbie right now, but experienced enough to know that when enthusiasm is harnessed it's an amazing motivator!

Many times some leasing brokers sneak in a Perpetuity clause where they get paid essentially forever on month to month , renewals of options, new lease agreements, etc.It can be bad for an owner to agree to such terms because the potential buyer later on sees it as a permanent obligated ongoing expense with that tenant.

@Andy Levin This event is mainly attended by perpetual tire-kickers in my opinion.

So yeah, if your happy with just clearing $1,500 mnth, and want to keep things as simple as possible, yeah maybe just 1 free & Clear IS your ticket.The notion of perpetual debt, perpetual growth, it's immature as a business plan in REI.

I have decided that I would like to sell (owner finance) the mobile home and then rent the land (lot rent) in perpetuity. 

Which is why most of us ae caught in this perpetual cycle to keep growing and building to protect what we already have.I think the dream most young investors have is to enjoy the bliss of financial freedom without being burdened by the responsibilities of a W2.
