really quick and dirty, when you break it down I don't see what you need to pay :For lead generation, that's purely a "sales" topic. 

I've recently gotten really interested in real estate after looking at possible ways to generate long term wealth. 

Once income and expenses are categorized, there's a lot of reports you can generate like the cash flow statement for each property. 

This loan type looks at the rent currently generated by the property OR the anticipated market rents (determined by the appraiser) and compares it to the monthly principal, interest, taxes, insurance and HOA (if applicable).

You will generate cashflow once you move the units to market rent which is the key to making cash flow in Ca. you wont make money in OOS unless you scale your portfolio fast. otherwise you will earn meagre amount and one maintenance work order away from cash flow negative.All the investors who are happy being OOS are ones with ten plus rentals or moved to the out of state market and became professional flippers and investors. 

(These averages represent state-level data, and individual cities may levy additional taxes.)To achieve the same level of cash flow as a property in Nevada, you would need to generate a higher cash flow in Texas and Florida to offset the higher operating costs.Texas: The property must generate $5,752 ($9,256 - $3,504) more cash flow annually to compensate for the higher operating costs.Florida: The property must generate $2,343 ($5,847 - $3,504) more cash annually to compensate for the higher operating costs.Overhead costs can greatly affect cash flow.

The 8825 will be the bulk of what generates the K-1 that passes through to your 1040.I've been filing my own LLC returns for 11 years and have never done a Sch E with those assets.  

I am licensed real estate agent but concentrated on investing and building a lead generation business.

A good starting point could be purchasing a duplex or a small multi-unit property to generate rental income either by living in one unit or by hiring a property manager.

So would i structure how long and how often like " property generates X per month, monthly payment to be 50% of X for however long it takes to pay it off (would calculate)?
