difficult to find a reasonable deal by using THE 2% RULE and THE 50% RULE.I concerned I'm missing a lot of potentials deals.How do you filter deals?

And if math makes your brain freeze then that's a concern for you wholesaling as it is 90% math.If you don't know what values are where you are investing then I almost think you need to decline the offer to market them.

The main concern you are going to have is with seller financing how is the agent going to get paid.

Is that a silly concern? 

I get bored pretty easily, so I like to reposition when it makes sense...either taking capital gains or working through a 1031.I don't need the cash flow, so control of assets is my primary concern...different than what 99% of "investors" will tell you...In general, there is no better way to control assets than through purchase money mortgages.

As a newer investor the only concern with owning in personal name is when you have an "institutional" mortgage on the property.

Agree with @Michael Hacker, the extra weight might be your biggest concern. 

What about liability concerns from tenants or creditors?

For both equities and real estate.That is my concern, and why I asked the question.

My concern is if we buy a turnkey property and put 20-25% down, how would we be able to add value to the property in order to refi at a higher price so we may get our initial money out and use it to buy another one?
