Quicken is probably better for a first time home buyer or a regular retail buyer.

You can pay cash for your purchase to give you the competitive edge in purchasing and then roll your buys into either a portfolio loan or regular mortgage. 

I regularly work with my client's CPA to ensure we are setting everything up properly from a global standpoint. 

I will angle the conversation as “I need to monitor the work to make sure I know any building issues that arise and so I’m on the same page with you about where we are up to”.Is there anything I’m missing, like I’d be in breach of some labour law etc.

We're trying to do the 'right thing' (for us) by catering to this market, but sheesh... it's certainly not like advertising a regular rental.

Bigger Pockets has some great state forums and usually there are good locals that monitor those.

We regularly purchase properties that give us well over 12% cash on cash returns (usually in the 100s of %).

I look at a lot of deals on a regular basis and only seem to find deals with 8% cap rates in the "hood" or in areas that have very little going on in them economically. 

So this means at month 48, you'd be able to invest the regular $180,000 plus an additional $200,000 from the cumulative earnings from the previous 8 syndication deals.  

And how do people that don't have a regular salary (self-employed or full-time real estate investors) do it?
