I'm 24 years old, live in Dallas,TX and I make 70k salary a year as a W2 employee.

They have no shot, so they incentivize investors with tax breaks.That's why entrepreneurs/business owners receive benefits because they are creating jobs, taking risk and investing in the economy, and employees are taxed the highest because they don't partake in this risk.I'm not saying it's fair, it's just the game, and has been.

@V.G Jason Do you manage properties for 3rd parties,  have employees who perform management functions on behalf of your own portfolio or is the management company used for any other business activities such as construction/maintenance?

Would you say I need a big team of people like employees to hit that.

I mean if they are a W2 employee sure.

depends on the state - as some states allow a loan officer to be a 1099 employee but if you are a W2 then it probably makes it more challenging.What states are you licensed in as we may be looking for some 1099 loan officers. 

-Zach, those coaches are employees of our investment company and have played a huge role in the 2,000 + units we've been able to acquire.

Why can't you start with some smaller residential or small multifamily commercial properties to get your feet wet, show proof of concept and possibly try to take on larger deals.Or possibly find a local syndication group and become an employee under them learning the trade and finding a mentor in the space.

The employment GAP isn't always an issue as long as you're now a W2 employee, can show 30 days of pay stubs (not self employed), and you can provide a letter of explanation stating the cause of the employment gap.For a VA loan, in order to use the rental income from the other units you'll need:1.
