during my initial first purchase at the closing room, I knew I had to get over this nervous feeling if I wanted to do 40 more properties to build my real estate empire so it was really easy for me!

Also you mention he has an awful reputation yet you acknowledged in your initial post you repeatedly buy properties his brokerage represents...not quite adding up.

They seem to lack substance listening to their initial information.I liked Mark Podolsky but I was not a fan of his model. 

And unlike some Midwest markets this positive cash flow is such that it includes realistic sustained expenses.How is this possible when west coast markets have poor initial cash flow?  

Not only the initial fees, but there are also liquidity requirements, i.e. $300k loan needs to show $15k liquid assets, and draws typically require you to pay contractors and obtain a lien release before you can be reimbursed for the money you paid contractor.While I know there are a lot of people who use low money down loans to get started, it is risky.  

I expect to have at least a few decent applicants in that initial 2-3 weeks. 6.

Although it may require a higher initial down payment to achieve immediate cash flow, the growth potential in Austin is unprecedented.

You've overcome the initial hurdle.

I own a high-demand business that I've been planning on selling anyway but that sale will take a minimum of 6 months, so I can't use that for the initial purchase. 

Also, I assume a 10% property management fee in my calculations and based on initial conversations.
