But I am very optimistic and have been accelerating my learning capacity by literally doing 4 to 6 hours of study each day.

They literally cover all other expenses

Get a part time job helping your dad renovate his flips, help him evaluate new potential deals, drive around town looking at properties for him, literally do anything that you can to help (and preferably get paid while your at it). 

It is literally a just a bunch of garages.

With 60 days to go before he would have to start making 2 mortgage payments, I offered to "lease with an option to purchase" it (I literally used those exact words) and he said yes.

Now, if I take a reasonable valuation of about $1.1m (the slightly smaller, less nicely renovated house literally two houses over sold for about $1m a year or two ago) and throw that into a mortgage calculator with 20% down and comparable taxes/insurance, I get about $4,500/mth.

I just viewed it as an introduction.He literally said during his presentation “If I sound like I have a massive ego, it’s because I do and I’ve earned it”.That may put some off but like I said I’ve met people like that before.

It’s literally like a shot in the dark...

As many of you are aware, if you own a building in your own name, 1-4 units, you can often get great "FNMA type" financing where you get a decent interest rate, lower DP, and literally locked in with no rate changes for 30 years.

Literally they will send me props and by the next day many are under contract.
