There are no shortcuts to building credit, it takes time.

Do your homework - there is no short cut in this game.

There are no shortcuts in real estate.

I grew up in Altamonte Springs ('87-04)  and saw it go from a rural town to what it is today, sort of a haphazard mix of nice residential, not so nice residential, run down commercial with pockets of freshly built/rehabbed commercial, low income apartments-turned condos before the crash-turned foreclosure havens that are barely recovering.... 

ZERO financial analysis background (also biggest cause for concern because if a syndicator is taking shortcuts here... you know where this is going)No property management experienceNo investment management experienceOn average, the only "experience" is flipping / wholesaling houses...

Im starting to see that he isn't managing his business worth a darn, is obviously understaffed and overloaded at the moment, and is taking a few serious shortcuts that I simply wont tolerate.

It takes cash and until you have it there is no short cut to investing.

So in all cases but one the spread is greater than 3%, and in that case (using higher-interest bridge debt) we plan to refinance into lower cost debt by year 3 which will then create a spread in excess of 3%.Unfortunately buying commercial income property (includes multifamily) requires very sophisticated financial analysis and there are no shortcuts or rules of thumb that will give you the complete picture. 

(below)Type in the NSF And Late fees and then print it out and mail it with the rent due invoice to the tenant.She now owes $50 on top of the rent she owes.Step 3In the tenant ledger, we can see the original invoice for $787.50We see the Payment that bouncedWe see the journal entry we made backing out the paymentWe see the invoice for the fees we created andto the left, we see she now owes us $837.50.We send all the printed copies to her with a harsh letter.Once again I apologize for trying to take a shortcut and not just showing you how to do a Journal Entry from the beginning. 

@Matthew Dreiling Buying TK is a shortcut, and I think best for people with zero knowledge, or for experienced investors looking to quickly expand their portfolio, but given that you have a degree in Real Estate, I would think you can do better on your own.
