This means the less cash you spend to buy the property, the less you have at risk.Based on your complete statement above, the reason why you lost everything had more to do with your lack of knowledge on how to analyze properties, and all the mistakes you said you made along the way.After ten years, using a combination of reinvesting the cash flow (part of it) and exploiting the compounding effect, the REI that only paid $20k for the same properties the other REI paid $100k for, could have had 43 properties and $215k/year in cash flow. 

You can really exploit that tax deferred income especially if you don’t need the money now.

Find your niche in your market and exploit it more than anyone else is. 

@Erin Auman find what your unfair advantage is and exploit it!

We have identified an exploitable niche purchasing damaged / distressed houses and re-positioning them into cash flowing assets.  

My duty is property management not people manager.If someone’s being abused or exploited they should call the police and or leave .

I don't have an answer on how to exploit it.I exploit my market by doing the pre employment drug screens for the refinery contractors. 

Knowing how to exploit it for my personal gains and profits are the only thing I'm interested in.

Check out the thread about ridiculous lines you hear from supposed Bulk Tape Sellers.If you have tried all these and some have worked, I'd pick the one you liked the best and exploit the heck out of it instead of trying something new.
