Then parlay that into finding a 2-4 unit building and buy as an owner occupied on an FHA loan with you living in one of the units.

It takes guts to wager a bit of short-term profit on humanity, but I offer that it will pay you back.  

I then look to grow my fund into a $100M fund within 10 years to parlay the growth into the banking industry.In my self storage business, I am focusing on acquiring an additional 40 self storage facilities in the next 10 years with the goal of either taking Social Self Storage public or being acquired by a self storage REIT.In my real estate investment business, I will be growing my portfolio to include an additional 500+ units in the next 5 years to hedge against inflation and to balance my lending business.In my wholesale business, I am currently working on automating the Chicago and Indianapolis markets to completely remove myself from the business within the next 18 months and will be scaling up to 10 properties sold per month per market.I am always looking for solid long-term business relationships, be it with experienced real estate investors who are in need of capital, equity partners looking to get a solid return on their money, strategic joint venture partners who are growth oriented, or foreign investors looking to hedge their U.S. currency holdings against inflation through the acquisition of U.S. cash flowing assets.Shoot me a line and lets start making some money together!

That should reduce what I'm currently paying by almost half, and allow me to save money faster so I can parlay that into a fund for a second property down payment.

@Marko Zlatic As a syndicator in the apartment syndication space, I can categorically say that, from a busy professional's perspective, Passive Investing beats Active Investing hands down for a couple of reasons:If you are doing something you are (it seems like) already passionate about (YouTube), I'd say get better at learning that craft and parlay that capital into a passive play Real Estate has been proven to be a steady wealth creator in this country.For someone who is already busy, passive investing is a no brainer.

It’s a very similar case of to a Tenant-In-Common (TIC) arrangement where an investor has 1031 exchange funds and wants to parlay that money into a syndication.

In Vegas terms that makes this a $200k parlay.

I’m looking to take the equity to parlay into another rental.  

Care to make a wager?

I would also wager that most new investors are overly optimistic or just plain inaccurate in general at estimating cash flow anyway, and overlook a host of expenses associated with high cap rate properties.
