You will be looking at recognizing the increase now as opposed to later.

I believe it is a proven path to financial freedom that almost everyone can achieve. 

Bigger Pockets should add auto hints that recognize the names so your not dependent on the "@".

Like others have posted in this thread, you need to have reserves and recognize that things will go wrong and you have to be able to weather the storm. 

So you can ignore history and look for cash flow and invest in an areas like Cleavland or Tenessee or you can recognize the unique market of coastal So Cal.  

first I would go out to see property, stroll up the street, run into tenants and strike up conversation, if they don't recognize you , you might learn a lot, maybe even mention you are looking to rent in area, 2 PM is not doing his/her job period, if you have to even go there, expectations are not inline somewhere, It might be a good time to screen your own tenants , if they make good and was a misunderstanding you maybe able to save it, or 3 rent is not making its way to you on time.....

Does the 80-20 split need to be recognized in that contribution?

Or would the 33.3% equity (proven by new home appraisal in hand) satisfy the 20% requirement (meaning I wouldn't have to come up with much cash, if any)? 

It's good you recognize the feeling.

I recognize this is a numbers game and a waiting game especially for someone starting up in commercial, but what is a game changer that I can do on a daily basis to supplement what I'm already doing?
