@Jacob L WhiteI believe that someone who you've described as an 'equity buyer' would be someone who is buying either for equity at the time of purchase (priced well below the FMV...so instant equity) or someone who is looking for a high appreciation potential (but doesn't necessarily cash flow). 

Selling through a realtor on the MLS for a 1 and done pay day is the LAST thing I'm going to do, and I'm only going to do it as a seller if i need to liquidate for one reason or another.

@Tammy Theiss  BP and the BP brethren are anti guru no matter who they are or what they do.so take all responses here with a grain of salt.. that all said weekend guru sessions are not going to create instant RE investors..

As for the math, you're investing say 5% of your income for a 100% instant return (the match), plus whatever the market return is over time.

The federal government simply prints money out of thin air, spends it, and instantly your bank account is worth less.As far as I'm aware, all the other presidential candidates pretty much just want to keep taxing, warring, and inflating.

I can find a few fixers which would meet a 1% rule, but those are gone before in an instant.

Forcing the notes to be run through a licensed originator only ensures compliance with those laws and in no way restricts your ability to do business.Let the originator quote the rates/terms or provide a spreadsheet on your computer that will instantly print a rate/term quote that is compliant (with their contact info and disclosures etc).

What we love about cash-flow properties is that you can get both instant gratification and longer-term gratification too; right after closing, we get a little extra income each month which we put aside for our next property. 

As an experienced real estate investor, having already owned dozens of properties and a real estate brokerage, I found instant wisdom in Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad."
