Barnum "There is a sucker born every minute" These people suckered you in.

I bet a good amount of money that he never calls either.

If the pwnership frequently changes perhaps the property doesnot live up to expectations so the owner dumps it to some other sucker, I mean owner. 

Sticking with one state, once you fully understand it and learn all of the laws is your best bet.

But I'm willing to bet that what current C4D holder is trying for, so his $ is a joke too. 

We knew the bet.

I completely agree with the other answers that getting someone to help you is a good bet, having someone in your corner who understands the intricacies of the tax code rather than DIYing that should save you more money (and time) than you're paying them ever since I got my first rental I've had a pro doing my taxes but kuddos to you for being able to juggle so much for so long on your own!! 

Your best bet is to take a 12-36 month STEPDOWN prepayment penalty. 

You'll find a lot of members spent a year or two immersing themselves in all things real estate while stockpiling cash, prior to actually making that first "all-in" bet, that real estate often, by it's nature, is for first-time investors.Hope that helps!

Given your own comment about the profitability of the deals, I’m not sure how you could pay that.So I guess your best bet is love money from your loved ones so might want to support you.
