I don't want to throw my money away and would rather take a beating on here for something I did wrong before I spend the money as opposed to afterwards, so if this is a bad deal please let me know.Thanks,Zach

Like @Bob Malecki talks about.. there is a reason you get the nicer returns you need to be very smart about what you buy and know the laws inside out.As for tax advantages  owning a few mid priced rentals I don't believe throw off enough in tax advantages to make that a part of the equation.. if you own 50 to plus door then I see that.I personally see the Crowd funding when the new rules come into play as a huge option for the person who would consider getting started in RE with a low priced rental IE under 100k rental.

Most investors throw the RTS mail in the trash

I might be over thinking this a bit, but i just thought I would throw that out there. 

Throwing 10 minutes a day away is like throwing away $3600.

Now, I don't know if the 5k original pricing was overpriced and this $2800 amount is where it is supposed to really be priced, but I thought I'd throw that in too!

Most people will keep throwing the letters away until they're ready to sell, and then they'll call the number on the first letter they get.

Just throwing out conservative appreciation numbers there based on what I've read and my experience here in CA.5 X $50K SFH, Midwest city, 2% rule, 0% to very low appreciation in 5 years$250K MFD, California, 1% rule, 20% appreciation in 5 yearsI guess it depends on your strategy and goals, short and long term.

As I said most RE agents handle clients by throwing a bowl of  canned sales routines and self-serving gimmick spaghetti against a wall and seeing what sticks.

Bill and Susan we gone through a lot of numbers here and I know that this is a little confusing but I want to throw out one of my solutionsand if you don't like the solution just let me know and we will move on, but here goes… What if I could somehow, and I have to talk it over with my business partner, but what if I can get a payment to you for a period of time, This payment would be pretty close to your PITI, and I would make a commitment to paying this for 24 to 36 months.At the end of this.
