Or perhaps I should wait out my time to sit for the broker exam...but if there's a way to get started sooner I'd like to try.Thanks.

Sooner or later you will run into someone that knows someone.

Even if the legislation is successful I wouldn't expect it to be legal anytime sooner than a year from now.  

@Melissa Gittens I am so sorry for not getting back to you sooner!

I'm hoping, sooner rather than later, that I will be able to leave my full time job to focus all my attention on building an REI business.

Lastly, you can buy more properties, that will paydown sooner, and generate more income over all.

IN the meantime, I am constantly getting educated with 1 hour daily on this site, reading for 1 hour and listening to the podcast at the gym.  

It 'seems' to me that for the possible benefits to the seller would be;Less depreciation recapture tax (if that is the right term)The same amount of income either way over the life of the loanBenefits to the buyer might be;Less after tax income due to higher yearly interest paidA little easier time refinancing sooner by build up equity faster due to paying 10K or 20K under the appraised value.I would think there could be a clause, if the seller wanted it, that it could not be refinanced for X number of years to make sure they made up for the lower sale price by having the yearly higher interest payments.Dan Dietz 

Take that $150/month savings, and apply it towards paying your mortgage off even sooner, and you could be debt free years and years sooner.

I want to help you leverage your capital, by allowing you to use mine, to be able to do more deals = more income = living the life you've always wanted SOONER!
