We're spending so much money...this better work feeling."

This is true for all private money lending situations..

Not sure how much money % I can save if I do it myself too? 

If we are losing money every year, but do plan on holding on to it long term, with our goal being appreciation of the market and someone else paying a good chunk of our mortgage, is this worth doing on any level? 

Well worth the money.

Avoiding errors and being educated on the laws can save time, money, and potential legal challenges.

@Hector Haro spend some money and get Appfolio.

And these would generally be 12% so you blend the 8% bank money and the 12% private money to get your rate.. 

This money would change my life but i have a hard time believing this.

Give me money so I can prove some guy on BiggerPockets wrong?
