Most others do take their sweet time, it's self paced, open book stuff, that just goes to the commitment some make and others make, but time wise, you'd save months and thousands of dollars learning real estate conventionally and then looking at methods armed with a good BS Meter. 

I am on pace next year to close out hundreds of millions in commercial real estate transactions.There are plenty of great deals out there.

Thanks in advance @Jeremy Pace

I am "worried" that I won't be able to find deals that are good enough to meet my strict criteria frequently enough to stay on pace for my 5 year plan.  

You have 39% as all in annual expenses.Will be more like 50 to 60% based on age of the building and any landlord paid utilities.Even at 114,480 number it makes no sense.Annual rent growth average for multifamily is about 3% which keeps pace about even with inflation.

@Jeremy Pace  I'm in Pittsburgh.  

46% could be accurate but any deferred maint could increase your expenses any given year. be careful not to assume the property will continue operating at the same pace if the owner has neglected anything major.

To try and overcome this problems i am reading everthing i can, listening to every podcast and webinar i come accross (just read @Blake Alexander's post how he listened to 4+ poscast a day, man i have to pick up the pace , and congratulations to Blake on his new job), I setup two separate acounts were i have money automatically withdrawn for savings for future investments, and im working with someone to repair my credit.

Rentals are in high demand in this area, and there hasn't been much development to keep pace with the demand. 

@Jeremy Pace  @Michael Carbonare  and I have like 65 years between us using leases and options.Like Michael said, WHIFFMs for owner, one tenant (you the REI)ower gets someone improving the the property, guaranteed single payment based on NOI (Net operating income)I have a bundlr set of links for MLOshttp://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/3/blog_posts/42...
