The key was living on dramatically less than I earned over a multi year period.

@James MckinnonTeal estate already has tax advantages-I don’t usually turn rental income from passive to earned income because it is an automatic 15% self employment tax. in addition, you are talking about asset protection.

When you sell it, you don't earn as much ss MFH.  2nd, let's say you put 100k depsosit and borrow 250k for condo. 

They would have to be a true magician to earn that money.

It’s definitely a personal decision, but I would suggest 6-12 months of reserves somewhere it doesn’t have to be in a checking account earning 0%, but you don’t want to end up in foreclosure if the AC breaks the same month as the tenant moves out.

Realtors want to close sales and earn a commission.

There is a lot of due diligence that goes into this, as you are potentially putting in your hard-earned money.

Buy advice would be to make any turnkey company really earn your business.

I believe its a perfect opportunity for all parties involved, but when I ran the #s using the Wholesaling Calculator, I am a bit worried by what I must offer Matt in order to get under contract and earn what I want.
