I am an attorney and a Broker and always recommend a buyer consults with an attorney when buying a home.

I am a consultant and former solution architect in the cloud computing industry and my goal is to be able to retire early on multiple rental properties and to finance others who are in the business as my capital accrues.  

Additionally, there are a number of podcasts and professionals on this very site you should take the time to consult with. 

The advantage to the Rich Dad program, however, was the structured delivery and consultation by an experienced RE investor.  

Consult your own attorney about everything.Best of luck!

When we offer more than one exit strategy to the seller, we become more consultative, less adversarial.  

I consulted the forums here and found a lot of investors are not comfortable with credit financing.

The best part is this: a consultation with a mortgage pro is FREE.  

I strongly suggest you consult a local landlord friendly attorney for a consultation - it could save you a lot of headaches and $$,   You have to consider not only state laws, but local ordinances.As noted before, the EBRHA is also a good source of information.They have an event coming up Nov 12 where you could drop in and see if this would help you. 

They have processing fee, supplemental origination fee, underwriting fee, consultant fee, administration fee.I'm seeing 3k in fees.
