This simple, straight-forward approach to getting in the game resonates with me personally. 

'Kids' inherit in their 60s.A book that resonated with me regarding wealth transfer was Die With Zero. 

The 5% Fannie Mae conventional product for 2-4 is great and do you have to worry about the self sustainability test like you would on FHA.

Once you've proven yourself for a couple years, then you will have everything you need to step out on your own and build a sustainable business quickly.

The only thing that will resonate with me are actual numbers instead of the many platitudes that have been spoken here on this thread.

It had never occurred to me that one could be self-sustaining through one's own resources, mainly because I had never made an effort to understand money management, retirement, or finances in general.An MMM blog post led me to BiggerPockets, a forum where the members, sophisticated investors, referred to their properties as "doors."

Most people resonate with that and I eventually get the listing.  80% of the leads turn into listing eventually. 

Both ways work, require a lot of sacrifice, delayed gratification, sustained focused effort, and patience. 

Is the goal to create sustainable jobs for them or just to help you out?

While an appreciation play makes perfect sense to some (ie. if you see the price of your newly purchased house increase by 3.3% a year, in 3 years you will have gained 10% equity - which would be $20,000 on a $200,000 house), you have to be in a position to sustain that purchase.
