Bridge loans can be extremely useful for situations where you may be purchasing a property that has tenants already in the property who are well under market rents to the point where a DSCR loan wouldn't cash flow.

The "education" that was presented at the REI meetings were little more than sales pitches, giving people just enough information to be enticing to go buy their education system and just enough to be extremely dangerous without the rest of the training. 

But I went downtown and had an extremely difficult time reconciling what I was experiencing with my pre-conceived views.

Both properties owned free and clear by our mother but my brother has the power of attorney.

It would be an extreme high/low strategy.

The number of subto deals is extremely low (far less than 1%). 

So it's just extremely unlikely that you'll be able to generate a return that would justify paying the taxes in 1 or offsetting the interest you'd pay in 3.If you save up and buy a traditional LTR at or above the median price, you'll likely be break even or negative. 

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

Extremely knowledgable and no pie in the sky fluff.

This means I can’t bump up my purchasing power.
