It’s the commercial real estate equivalent of saying you made $10m flipping 15 houses.

Also, there are some maintenance costs, so I'm considering trying to build in a 203K loan or the equivalent through the second mortgage.

In my opinion everyone's time would be better spent reading "The Book on Real Estate Investing", visiting the Financial Samurai or Nerd Wallet, or equivalent blogs, or any rags to riches biography. 

I will live in Property B for at least one year (to obtain FHA loan or equivalent)3.

The fee is normally equivalent to one month rent, the cost can be paid by the owner of the property or the tenant interested in renting the unit.

To spend equivalently in the UK, it appears we'd do well to get one unit for the same outlay i.e. $950 for a $150,000 spend equivalent in £, rather than $2950.

I have used a loan from my TSP (401K equivalent) to purchase real estate multiple times.

:Pros:Cons:            Tenants rent not guaranteed and unreliable           Annual inspections nit picking to find deficiencies            Unauthorised low life family guests           Unauthorised pets           Entitlement attitude           Higher level of management required           Landlord in partnership with governmentWhat is the equivalent of Section 8 in Canada?

@Bryan Wilson Here is the formula I derived for calculating an equivalent rate of return for ONE years contribution over a given time period.y = ((((Pv*(1 + R)^n) / C)^(1 / n)) - 1) *100R is the assumed rate of return.C is your after tax dollars of your contribution (since investing in real estate with after tax dollars).  

Now, I have income coming in from rentals which is equivalent to a 250k/year salary.
