Also I get the ability to diversify geographically, and with multiple syndicators to hedge my bets.NPN sounds like potentially outstanding returns but yeah, I would have to partner with someone and not sure I am up for that.Performing notes - I will probably add some of these as well to see how they perform and if I like them.I already max a SEP-IRA with a bunch of vanguard mutual funds (all equities no bonds).

In order to get the tax collector to do this, you pay an application fee And you have to pay off all the other outstanding certificates, along with the 18%/yr interest the county gets on them, then the tax collector schedules the auction....takes about 3-4 months.

Here are some tips I have picked up as I close on yet another property this week:CABLE/INTERNET: In this area, none are outstanding but the most commonly available is Spectrum.

I copied this from a search on real estate ROE:Return on Equity (ROE) ratio calculates the amount of return generated in a particular year on the total amount of equity invested (or trapped) in a property.The amount invested (or denominator) is calculated as the initial investment (down payment) plus the entire increase in net property’s appreciation and the entire decrease in outstanding loan balance incurred prior to the year the ratio is being calculated.Cash-on-Cash Return is a similar calculation, but since the two draw backs of the traditional Cash-on-Cash Return are that property appreciation and principal debt payments are not factored into the formula, Return on Equity adds these two components to the traditional Cash-on-Cash Return calculation.A property’s net equity increase is calculated by determining what the “Net Sale Proceeds after Taxes” would be at the beginning of a year, and then again at the end of the year.

HELOC payments won't be amortized they will likely be 1.5% of outstanding balance.

I feel that without a salary, no bank would give me a good loan with the amount of outstanding student loans I have.  

We all work nationwide.

Nationwide:  Angel Oak and Lima One,,, many other asset based 30 yr lenders.One of the issues scaling up has is deal flow. 

@Dan Roma Here in MA (and it might be nationwide) it is illegal for a licensed person to pay an unlicensed person.As a Realtor, I'd rather walk away from a deal if it meant violating the law to get it. 

I don't want to scare anyone of with my tremendous and outstanding goals so I will "TRY" to keep this short.
