Coffee shop, cell phone store, gym, tanning, hair salon, insurance agent, dentist, convenience store, etc.

@Snehann KapnadakI think you'd be using a VLOOKUP function to find the value off the table...My point is that you can eliminate the "exterior" table all the together and be able to calc the numbers directly in one cell alone. 

This becomes the classic case of what comes first, chicken or the egg.

My first inclination is to say read Scott Trench's Set for Life and build up a bit more of a nest egg before jumping into real estate.

He sounds like a typical handyman, which means he has some pretty decent skills but he sucks at running a business and is probably happy as long as he makes enough for coffee and eggs with the buys at the local greasy spoon.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.That said, I'm a complete newbie at REI, so take this with a grain of salt! 

I understand this forum has real estate bias, but it doesn't seem like a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket.Unless you are buying a commercial property, it seems difficult to get a mortgage without a personal guarantee. 

The listing broker doesn't want egg on their face.

@Luke Carl feel free to PM me for my cell number and we can discuss via a phone call.

All it would take is one person taking a quick cell-phone photo and I could lose my notary commission.
