Nice try, but this time does not count.In order to meet 750 hours, your wife will need one of the below:- do something else real estate related, like wholesaling or realtor- actively work on expanding your rental portfolio - have an extensive DIY rehab, like a month-long full-time rehab (and then she might need another kind of rehab)- a calamity such as multiple properties damaged in a storm where she will have to deal with insurers and contractors- something else out of the ordinaryAgain - if all you have is 9 single-family properties with stable tenants and typical occasional maintenance - you don't have enough work to collect 750 hours.

Large deposits are nice, but very difficult to actually get access to escrow funds in the event of default.

Nice way to house hack!

Using this method, we will have our home paid off in about 2 more years AND will have a massive HELOC we can use to scale even more. wht are you going to do after the mortgage is paid-off ?

The coaches help you level up and scale from where you are now to where you want to be; not because they're perfect and have everything figured out, but because they are a little further on the path and have a systematized method for growing your business.But I will say it's not a good fit for everyone. 

I tried FB ads, and got some inquiries but no bookings.It would be nice to have an AI program that would respond to people looking for a certain sized property in your location for certain dates.

Thanks,AniFor what it's worth: In my recent audit with the nice man from the IRS, he accepted my deductions of the interest payments on my many SubTo properties, none of which, was  I provided a 1098 by the lenders, because I could show him I was making the payments and how much.

Worked out nicely for all involved. 

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

I found a nice established one for sale.
