this thread is reminding me of a great TED talk on decision making and happiness, the main gist being that people have a strong tendency to talk/think themselves into being happy with choices that they make.

@Brendan Novisky I maintain my broker's license mainly for the same purpose as what you intend to do with yours, as well as for agents like me to have a place to hang their own license - I operate in a similar fashion as the ones mentioned by @John Horner.

Open to rent ,owner finance, lease option , or just plane old fashion sale.

My current short term goal is to invest in a small multifamily by summer 2015, likely in an owner-occupied fashion.

LOL but a good experience to see how properties are sold in this fashion.  

I know from previously the answer 0 and near to 0.... yet you speak as if your "the" expert of experts and act in ridiculous childish temper tantrum fashion when someone pierces the bs with reality and facts. 

Things are tough on one side with the eviction moratorium, but really nice for property values.That being said, there is an unfortunate tendency for many to exaggerate their success. $10K in cash flow probably doesn't include CAPEX expenses.

@Carl CarlsonEven third-world countries (India), allow some fashion of exchanges to postpone avoid payment of capital gains.

We also use Cozy to collect payments, which is easy for both parties, as it’s linked to both our bank accounts (tenant and landlord).I could have even used Cozy to collect the security deposit, but I used a old-fashioned check for that, since I wanted to deposit those funds into a completely separate account, and I couldn’t figure out how to do that through the Cozy setup.

This is more of a quality over quantity debate, 10 families in a nice area will most likely  treat the property better and have a tendency of staying longer.To put everything into context I’m doing the out of state turnkey thing.
