Make a plan that eventually leads to owning property that throws off cash after you purchase it.

Move in, then eventually move out then purchase another 1-4 units as owner occupied, then move in and out rinse and repeat as they say.I'd be happy to discuss any financing options, whether owner occupied properties or investments properties I can help.ThanksCraig

Eventually you'll start developing relationships with people in the market that will bring you off market deals, but they have to believe that you can close the deal.

In the long scheme of things I truly want to help people and if that means giving people in S8 a place to stay I'm all for it. eventually I would like to aim on specifically helping out veterans that are in this situation.

@Fed Finjap now you're better prepared if you continue to scale and eventually hire a PMC!

When you move out you begin to experience POSITIVE CASH FLOW in which your tenants help you buy the property.....where eventually you own it out right, and now it becomes like a pension..........Predictable and Sustainable income for life.   

I want to eventually find my forever home and create a bigger real estate profile.

If there's any equity there and they can't pay the mortgage they are going to eventually lose the house anyway. 

Is there a better way to structure this deal besides proportionally splitting the profit from refinancing (and/or eventually selling) and the rent (which we'd be paying)?

Eventually, I’d like to start using the cash flow to pay myself and work toward replacing my day job income.
