Took something like an express couse in real estate investing, but still want to learn more about it so I can get maximum financial freedom for me and my kids.

One step my spouse and I have taken is to find some meetups in our area for the express purpose of talking with others who have BTDT.

Cherish the relationship, express yourself how serious you are in terms of real estate investment, build trust over time, it will definitely be paid off eventually.

As soon as they express interest I just tell them I have a quick 5 question questionnaire for them to answer and I will let them know later. 

I had success with real estate express, I really liked the format and it was easily digested in 5-15 minute intervals.

I was planning on selling the unit once their lease is up, but they have expressed interested in buying the unit.Is there anyway to "sell"/transfer ownership without going through the closing process?

It is calculated as NOI divided by price and expressed as percentage. 

I would very much like to do these projects with Larry and even expressed this to him, but, also stated that I am trying to get myself into position to do these types of projects on my own without any outside financial contributions.

I cannot express how cathartic it’s been to write this down.

I can't express how important and useful a neutral 3rd party inspector is!
