I am excited for your future Josh - and the coolest part is that the business model ultimately only succeeds if others experience true success as well.

My profile below may seem like a dream but it's all true and my dilemma is too many optons and personal uncertainty about the best method.

I am not a lawyer, so I really have no idea if that is true.

that's not true...  

If there is a true smell, it will only get worse.

I think that's generally true.

The part about done for you deals and financing kinda sounds like a to good to be true......

@Brendan Morin  reality is there are very few 40k rental homes you can buy today in America that will appreciate like you charted... and they are in no way liquid for usually what you have in them.. to sell them generally generates a cash loss the only way your 40k rental has a TRUE cash value as you charted is if the rents rise so that investors can back into the 2% rules or there abouts...

Up until those facts are proven to be not true, they are indeed facts that were presented to you from a legitimate credit reporting service. 

Once you accept this as part of being a landlord and view your home as a "tool of the trade", although and expensive one, and that this is a business of damages, repairs, fixing up your home, evictions and doing it all over again and again, only then will you be a true landlord!
