I like your optimism on 'suffering less'. :) 

Account Closed Can you guys please explain where I can find these optimal sources of data points you refer to, for future purposes when the market does peak and begin to reset, I would like to be ready

As you know Minh, there is no free lunch (but there are good deals and smart in investments to be made :)  You are optimized for MF, adding value, working the loans, and getting cash out.

I would rather have great cash on cash returns that I can reinvest and the ability to optimize the property cash flow rather than the sole purpose of having the properties appreciate.

I would think it's hard to optimize a business around doing $20K loans as well as $30MM loans. 

I.E. if the property to purchase is $1m, down payment is $200k, and I have 3 investors putting in $50k each totaling $150k, and I use $50k of my own money, what are some optimal ways to setup the payback of the $150k outside money back to each investor, in the best/quickest way so we can roll into more properties at the fastest rate or deploy the money elsewhere, quicker?   

I'm thinking the most optimal position would be to have a lot of leverage, but with enough cash reserves so I can choose to bail myself out in case of emergency.

This might not be the most optimal from the beginning standpoint, but this will be temporary until we form connections in the area.For the 2nd part of our goal, we will need to leverage relationships that we will focus on forming during the 1st ten years of this project.

How do you feel about:- Website design and SEO optimization?

The 4 Hour Workweek is also a great read for optimizing your time.Pretty much all of John T.
