After the loan is drawndown I need to immediately start making monthly payments for the next 60 months.

I'm still finding myself chasing them each month. 

Direct mail to this address for 8 months.

My best property has appreciated over $10k/month.  

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

Plus, they often charge a month's rent to place a tenant.

Once you know what your monthly costs look like, you can make a sharper call if a sweet off-market deal pops up.

Quote from @JD Martin: Quote from @Benjamin Weinhart: Speaking to your item #6, I was actually told by the staff here over the phone maybe 5-6 months ago that DMing someone is fine so long as it's not a copy/paste ad and is specific to the individual.

It's my understanding that the previous auditor only had the position for eight months, jacked everyone’s taxes up, and then resigned and passed away.

I think many people tend to think about the monthly payment number and not about the interest rate.
