Thanks for your question - Controlling real estate is the highest financial leverage one can ever achieve in real estate - Control & Roll is a system created by me from pure frustration with being a real estate sales person (broker/agent) - I needed to GET OUT OF CONVENTIONAL  real estate - there were too many gate keepers, buyers, sellers, appraisers, underwriters, banks, mortgage brokers and others who didn't care if you made a buck or not, if you helped your client or not, just too many ways to stop a sales from going to settlement ------- I had to find another way to make money in real estate without those regulations stopping me - cutting-off my income and making me crazy -----I wanted a system where I got paid full commission without contingencies, without inspection requirements and a way to sell real estate for all cash without having to mess around with FHA or other loan products or appraisals.So ----- the birth of Control & Roll - simply put C&R is a way of negotiating real estate with a skinny offer subject to a public auction.

You mentioned maxing out your lending limit - which makes sense if you're borrowing based on your credit profile, income and DTI, but what about exploring options with lenders that purely underwrite the asset and it's cash flow?

The quip about lenders not lending in Chicago is pure fallacy.

Our model is buy and hold real estate through pure rentals, personals turned rentals all being class A properties so smaller margin but lower expenses.This site has tons of great sources.

We than started to buy pure investments.

Pure rentals are 20% for 1-4 houses and 25% for 5+.Definitely check out those who you enjoy's signature.

We now paint all ceilings and trim in pure white and use a modern, neutral color on the walls.

When I got started in my career started to invest my income in pure rentals.

Your 99% claim, pure fluff, you can judge gurus and scammers by claims they make, sensational, etc.

And there are many things to consider, including your entire financial picture, your age, your family, your future plans and goals.From a purely financial/math standpoint what @Chris T.
