Or keep building and retire your self sooner.  

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

I do think that great credit score doesn't equal to on time rent payments.

If you are purchasing an investment property, and intend on using for investment purposes only, not personal use, it might be possible for you to rollover the TSP to a Self-Directed IRA and purchase the investment property through this type of structure.

I'm looking into Self Storage investing. 

These in-house capital markets teams' sole job is to self-market their own loan requests, regardless of loan size.

If I am applying for a mortgage for anything I have to self-report these loans.

I can do the part of finding the off market  properties  through cold calling i already have a team doing so pulling lists finding leads and close on them but for other people not for my self

It is fairly important but out of your hands how the neighbors receive you but especially self managing you will want 1 or 2 neighbors on your side.
