Cash in 2 days is good enough for me.I'm not a big fan of owning actual bonds bought from the US government. 

I purchased my first home through NACA to actually live in and I'm curious on how to build my RE portfolio from here.

Actually I talked to 6 different multi family mastermind groups.

Eddie Speed and NoteSchool say they have access to thousands of notes through mutual fund purchases by Colonial Funding, but I seriously question that they actually do, or that members get to purchase them.

Focus on the actual deal first.

People seldom look at actual crime numbers.  

It all depends on the market and if tenants actually care about having a new sidewalk and walkway. 

I also think the first ones in line with an actual lawsuit will be the the first ones in line for judgements.

You can still achieve it, but finding deals that actually pencil out on all criteria (low enough purchase price, low enough renovation cost, cash flows on the backend, all cash out at refinance) is pretty hard.

Set a goal of 60 days to educate yourself and dedicate 30-60 minutes per day actually doing it.
