Napoleon Hill The secrets of the Millionaire Mind by Harv Eker is really good too.Swanny

I can recommend The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T.

Not all of it is in cash but or accessible for rental properties, but most of it is not tied up in houses and is very liquid.That said, I don't quite understand, even with those resources, how I would acquire 25 doors in just a couple of years and on presumably a relatively small income and very short time to acquire wealth if one assumes starting at zero or with college debt even.One example of this was discussed on BP podcast 199.Given all that, can y'all help me understand how people are doing this and what secret am I not quite understanding? 

It's harder and harder to find anything worth it in San Antonio...the secret is out.

Here's the secret sauce.....consistent direct mail marketing, big time follow up, send out contracts, have a buyers list to wholesale to.Don't over think it!  

Anyone willing to share some secrets?

Rockridge is the best kept secret in my opinion.

I was thinking the same thing - if anyone knows this secret let me know!

It reminded me of Phil Town's "The Wolf" fairy tale, where a rich man - perhaps also member of the Illuminati - gives him the secret to become wealthy.

Its just knowing which ones to use to get what you want and what the pro's and con's are between each product given the goals you're trying to accomplish.A lot of bankers and independents in socal broker to TCF like Chris mentions above.I've had good experience getting rental income to be used in similar context to the above mentioned.The formula is simple for rentals that dont yet show up on your tax return its 75% of gross income minus PITIA (principal/interest/taxes/insurance/assessments) to arrive at your net income figure that will either be added to your income column if its positive or a liability to be qualified for if its negative.In cases where you just want to do a cash out refinance loan you could use 1 year tax program with Freddie Mac to avoid having to average both your 2015 and 2014 which causes more paperwork and more things for an underwriter to sift through and demand verifications and documentation on.The nice part about using a 1 year tax program for self employment or realtor income (in your case) is that since there is only 1 year tax for your self employment we only need to use 1 year tax income on your rentals  as well which is a little known secret in the residential conventional lending world.This is great when you have a great 2015 or past return but your 2014 or 2 year ago return was not as good.
