In some other recent threads I think someone said it is only like $15K to get into one of those, then of course there are whatever fees and royalties, but that seems like a way better deal then dumping $3M to buy a flipping business with no particular advantage over anyone else in the market.

I always tell my PM’s to treat the good ones like royalty and the ones that are a pain in the you know what, keep jacking their rents quickly up to current market rents or higher.  

HI Hen,I am only licensed in the below states however, the above scenario is acceptable and I've worked with many folks who were solely qualifying off atraditional income sources like rental cashflows only, notes income, installment contracts, royalties, dividends, alimony, child support, etcThe thing you have to factor is that the lender will still calculate a full DTI or debt to income on you so when I mean you might be able to qualify this assumes youd have to either have a ton of a rental cashflows or little to zero debt and are living rent free.This is so you can divert all of your rental income to help you in the qualification of the property you're looking to obtain financing for.If lifestyle costs, rents, or other liabilities are in the way or taking up your borrowing power then you wont have any room for this anticipated property.If you're trying to rely solelyon this anticipated purchase's income only and have no other rental income then you'll definitely have to be living rent free (family members/parents) and will have to have zero debt when credit is pulled but you'll be able to qualify yes if the property cashflows (75% of gross rents - PITI = hopefully positive income). 

My goal is to build a huge commercial structure like a mall and live off the royalties.

Cap at $18,000 + $3,000 royalties.

he lends his name and gets a royalty.. just like those that wear Nikes or any other celebs that hawk items.. its no different in the real estate training business.. get a nationally known NAME and put them as the face of the company .. i assure you they bring only their name to these deals.. 

I recognize that my proposed scenario isn't "real" per se, but I'm at a stage where I want to keep this passive as I have a job I enjoy, a young family, write some music for passive income royalties.
