I don't have much free time to research several properties or vest several third parties - my job and my family life are very time consuming.

You can look up any LO on the NMLS Consumer site.That said, there also may be a good reason the LO is advising you to go FHA. 

I'm serious, that's very impressive in this generation of consumers.  

Overwhelmed with everything consumed within the last couple of days. 

Ask any of the guys that have been doing this for a while, you can't buy and fund house purchases with tons of consumer debt hanging over your head.  

After 18yrs of buy&hold, I didn't need 10 minutes of a web presence, but now reaping 68,400 gsi from my 6-units.I'm a web professional and adding that is trivial, but consumes time & effort better spent learning what NOT TO DO!

The marketing and knocking on  people's doors seem to me very time consuming, I might be wrong.

All in all, retailing houses can be very time consuming and requires some skill.

They are forced to use a third party which is expensive and time-consuming.

Low rates do allow for consumer activity and that is the lion share of the economy, not BIG Business plant expansion (that's occurring where the globalization sent all the jobs over seas).
