Feel free to report your concerns with CNBC ;)Again the macro point of the article is that Real Estate is a great investment vehicle, if you didn't agree I don't think you would be on this site, correct?

In addition if one of the options stops you from leasing a vehicle that will be the smartest choice you ever make.Lastly, I use a commercial bank and currently have about 19 loans covering 38 units. 

@Ned CareyThe language in the post you question is not particularly precise.

SD IRA is tax-deferred vehicle, you are not paying tax on the income so there is nothing to write off against.

It is the only vehicle out there that allows you to secure long term fixed rate debt with little or no money down. 

@Owen ThorntonAn LLC is a pass-through vehicle and does not necessarily provide unique tax benefits.

Yet to close a wholesale deal, so while I’m not D4$, and doing other work, would like to learn precisely all the terms and verbiage that goes along with it, if anyone has a good list of terms and def, I could study thoroughly just so I can have this knowledge.

Your situation you are describing is PRECISELY the niche I work in - scaling small residential or multifamily portfolio's accordingly.

What are your steps in starting into looking at real estate as an investment vehicle?

The scalability isn’t huge but it doesn’t really need to be if you’re looking to stay in your current career and just use RE as a passive investment vehicle.
