I would just add that you need to use some software (excel, wave) to keep track of your income and expenses.

You still maintain the property as usual and you don't have to track how much money is being paid down on the purchase.

Foreclosures are'nt what they used to be- many new investors think it's a fast track to an amazing deal. 

But it's kind of like saying "does anyone want to back me in building a five star hotel" which you're probably not going to get any traction, unless you have a track record of working for a five star hotel developer for a few years and can demonstrate you truly know how to execute that type of development. 

I know of no other real estate training organization has a track record like that.

We meet with them virtually or in person if all possible and then we present to them our track record.

Any suggestions or incite on how you track your rentals would be appreciated!

Professionals with decades of experience and proven track records do all the heavy lifting.

But if you want to go faster, there are two things that will help by getting your foot in the door with house hacking.First, is over time you'll build equity and can eventually refinance and take that cash to use as down payments.Second, if you want to use private lenders, virtually all of them other than family and close friends will want to see a track record.

If the mentor knows what he’s talking about, has the experience and a verifiable track record then it could be a very cost efficient way of obtaining one on one guidance.
