My concern is my bank account doesn't show that currently (I do have the paystubs to back it up).

If you do get a second set, make them yours, and assign the tenants each alternating days to the other. 

I've purchased properties before as a residence, that were in negative cash flow initially, which are doing great now.

I am chatting with him on Monday, but attempting to do some due diligence prior to speaking with him.

I am an agent in FL and do a lot of wraparound transactions w/ my STR investors.

I now want to diversify, I have around $1m in S&P 500, and want to use the other $1.5 for real estate investing.My end goal is to build a Real Estate Empire and I feel like I am in a very good situation to do so,I love working and I am not looking for "passive income".What would you pros do in my situation?

let's go, do the first step!!

Will do, thank you!

I do not know anything about the program you are speaking about.
