Truthfully, I am not that big on coaching programs BUT, I can understand the benefits of having someone in your corner teaching and coaching you on the ins and outs of real estate investing every week. 

However, I'm drawn to the long-term benefits of multifamily properties.

Seller will be taking a 30k+ loss with this route.325k with 50K down to seller, 3 years of payments $1600/month, and a balloon payment of 215k at the end of 3 years.Benefits to me: (1) 10k less downpayment, (2) with the conventional route, the loan would be at 228k after 3 years of payments, so I will gain additional equity with the 2nd option since I will owe 215k (presumably I will have to refinance at that time).Benefit to seller: she gets over asking price, 50K upfront and $300/month of cash flow.Does this offer and structure sound reasonable?

That’s why I try so hard to explain to people I meet every day the benefits.

Be ready to explain the benefits and address concerns confidently.

You will lose one of the best benefits of the real estate industry, appreciation.

Real estate syndication investing is still quite valuable as it can offer higher Returns than investing in public REITs but not as high returns as direct ownership and management of real estate by some experienced people, but with the benefit of being far more passive, than direct ownership/management. 

If it's worth $1.3 million today, it will be worth $3 million or more in 20 years, you'll have paid off the debt (or most of it), you'll earn at least $3 million in cash flow over those 20 years, and you'll have tax benefits.

I truly think I only need 4 more houses to hit my goal and then shift from buying to paying them off.I am not sure if I am thinking about this the right way and I am sure there are things I am not thinking about but below are my thoughts:Pros - I can purchase the houses I need to hit my goal faster - With getting homes fasters the depreciation, tax benefits, amortization, appreciation, rent increases all start sooner - Home prices on average should be lower now then if I buy in 4-5 years - I can take better advantage of leverageCons - I have more risk until I pay the properties off - Less upfront cashflow - Longer timeframe to acquire the properties to reach my goalIf anyone has any opinions or advice I'd love to hear it.

It solves the problem of expensive housing, makes the employees available if the business needs them at any time (with overtime benefits) and eliminates the commute.
