So by this definition I feel my home can become an income producing asset for my family must faster if I were to pay down the mortgage that much faster and get renters into it.  

Youth can be used by way of paying off a mortgage in 25 or 30 years and then owning the income producing property mortgage free and providing significant cash flow for another 30 years of life3.

That means that unlike web-based systems (Top Producer, Salesforce, Maximizer, etc), I have complete access to my data whether or not I have wi-fi / cellular data access.  

He's a top producer here in Dallas, specializing in the Uptown, West Villiage, Park Cities areas.  

But with FHA financing being very lax, I was wondering about valuing duplexes based more on what they're producing then comps.

One particular property is zoned Agriculture with almost 4 acres of land and has two income producing 2 bd, 1 bath cottages in need of some repairs but habitable.

We're looking for like minded individuals that want to grow professionally and be high volume producers.  

It will pad their numbers and make them look like they are giving you a better investment than the way it would produce at 20-25% down on a CASH FLOW level.

We want this property to be at least self sustaining if not income producing especially while she is in school.
