Ideally putting minimal down and close in my LLC's name.Does anyone have a good experience with a PM lender that they can share or will recommend? 

I am also in the process of getting these properties into LLC's to minimize liability since these are now quite hefty assets.

I live very minimally at home currently, still with my parents, so I would only be spending about $350 a month total, including the loan (assuming I can get it for the time period I calculated, which is 3 years), so I would still be able to put aside about $11,000 for school, a car, and the downpayment for my first deal. 

Because of this, they're purchasing their own supplies/materials with very minimal labor expenses.

@Francesca Zanzucchi Most of the delay is caused by the banking-controlled ACH system. 48 hours is the common "promised" turn time, but our reality is 3-5 business days.You should look into the 10 day delays, as most payment software is automated.

Main goal is minimizing risk with it being our first property but was able to obtain the house for 40+% less than listing price due to our cash offer and able to close ASAP.  

There's a reason why there are so many almost identical real estate skip trace services out there with minimal or no difference in their offering or pricing.I began researching skip trace data and services in 2014 and started Skip Genie in 2017.  

Sometimes they sneak in some STR bookings during these times to try and minimize their vacancies.

As for the median American in my age group, yes I'm way beyond that and I attribute that success to the following:- Willing to delay gratification on a regular basis- Willing to do jobs no one else wants to do- Willing to work long hours for results (a strong work ethic)- Willing to take calculated but high upside/low downside risks- Willing to allow the "fruits of my labor" to be returned to the business instead of paying for a lavish lifestyle- A strong commitment to these principles by my spouse- A strong run of being healthy enough to work to produce excess profits- The fortuitous grace of being born and growing up in the United States, where opportunities for financial success are everywhere and accessible to anyone- A splash of luck at being in the "right place at the right time"

Inexperienced investors should minimize the number of things that can go wrong.
