I didn't just see a year form now I'm thinking what I can do in five years, I didn't want to have nice things at the time because I know it will slow down to my goal which is become financial free. 3 years since I bought my first house I was able to save all the money that I made from the duplex and the house appreciated, so i was able to ask for an equity loan, and into my second home I put 20% down payment because that's the requirement for an investment property.

The move is in an effort to accelerate our ability to save capital (see Set for Life by Scott Trench) as we will be living with my parents rent free (we are currently renting for $2,000/mo in Orange).

I got the deal with seller carrying note for 12 months at $1,000 a month principal only, no interest, and tenant pays $1,200 a month so having him stay and pay is not a bad option but he is constantly late on paying so I could have the eviction option after I give the 60 day to evict, but the yard is full of cars and trailers and if he can move those out it will save me money as well and he will be paying down the loan each month, but games can start if I wait or hold off.

A few hundred bucks could save you thousands in taxes.You could 1031 this one into another property is that aligns with your near term plans.

My plan is to utilize the license when buying and selling my own investment/personal properties, to help save money and one day, open up a property management company.

I have been saving money since I started working 4 years ago and think I have a decent chunk of change saved up to get me to my first deal within the next few months.

My savings account is giving me cash flow.  

They might have a junior agent willing to try it out.You as a buyer have a certain amount of capital which took a long time to save and make it count which is understandable.

I am working on that but even after I save enough money for repairs, I wouldn't want to put all that towards a down payment so I was wondering if there was a way to avoid that.

Save for 7-8 months and get my 20% down of 10k on it and go to a bank which isn't my favorite option or maybe since I was reading on here that life insurance company's have a very low interest rate and like to invest in multi family buildings that would be another good option.
