@Tammy Theiss  BP and the BP brethren are anti guru no matter who they are or what they do.so take all responses here with a grain of salt.. that all said weekend guru sessions are not going to create instant RE investors..

As for the math, you're investing say 5% of your income for a 100% instant return (the match), plus whatever the market return is over time.

The federal government simply prints money out of thin air, spends it, and instantly your bank account is worth less.As far as I'm aware, all the other presidential candidates pretty much just want to keep taxing, warring, and inflating.

I can find a few fixers which would meet a 1% rule, but those are gone before in an instant.

Forcing the notes to be run through a licensed originator only ensures compliance with those laws and in no way restricts your ability to do business.Let the originator quote the rates/terms or provide a spreadsheet on your computer that will instantly print a rate/term quote that is compliant (with their contact info and disclosures etc).

What we love about cash-flow properties is that you can get both instant gratification and longer-term gratification too; right after closing, we get a little extra income each month which we put aside for our next property. 

As an experienced real estate investor, having already owned dozens of properties and a real estate brokerage, I found instant wisdom in Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad."  

I realize my IRR had dropped to less than 30% and so in 2014 till today I started buying 65% IRR BRR deals locally in Tacoma where I get an instant equity of 30% and then 1.25% to 1.5% rule cash flow deals. 40% of these deals are R2 lots over 14,000 sq ft that I subdivided and build a new house to rent.Real estate historically tends to go in major crashes around every 18 years (15 to 20 years) unless we run into a world war or a currency crisis.

Remember when you buy a car, you instantly lose money!

When you pop over people instantly think you are spying on them.
