Obviously Fund & Grow has a method to sidestep the credit department's underwriting standards.My theory is that they are making use of " shelf corporations ", corporations with no assets or current business activity. 

I also have a Roth SDIRA which has $50,000 invested in a syndication effort.Emergency fund: $20,000Investment Cash: $75,000I put $500 every 2 weeks into Investment cash and also have my cash flow from the rentals of $2,008 auto transferred to Investment Cash account.I have 5% of pay going to TSP (retirement) account as my employer matches up to this amount.

If you do not have one, I recommend finding one that has experience in real estate as employment and real estate investing. 

Hey Bigger Pockets,One of my goals for this year is to do the classic tried and true method of buying a duplex with a FHA loan. 

Recently I had questions about moving or withdraw funds from former employer 401K account to invest in RE. 

I wanted to diversify outside of the stock market; real estate investing sounds like a great method.

@Nathanael Rojas maybe this method works for a company or a person that has a lot of cash to close deals, but it's horrible advice for someone just starting out.If an offer gets accepted you are legally saying that you will make a good faith effort to close on that property.

Steady employment and at least 3x the rent?

Rental income doesn't get hit with the self employed income tax, so having them in an S-corp isn't really necessary.In the future, we may break up properties by area or risk demographic. 

The issue is I'm self employed and everything is written off, my credit ranges from 750-790 depending on the credit card miles game.
