Basically I am weaving real world mathematics into real world situation many of us had to face without any previous exposure.  

What are some ideas to make a couple extra grand a month while still working full time and gaining valuable exposure to the process AND providing value to existing investors?

We also shared the PoF with the seller's agent, who didn't see anything wrong with it.We acted in good faith, having no reason to suspect the forgery, but the second we uncovered it, we notified the seller instantly.Neither I nor our attorney think we have any exposure here.  

FSBO will not get the exposure an agent can offer.

That is OK, it is still a great strategy to put retirement money to work that is usually more productive then sitting on a handful of mutual funds.In an IRA, the usage of debt-financing will create a small tax exposure on Unrelated Debt-Financed Income (UDFI). 

Getting the property as much exposure as possible is very important as well - So even if it doesnt go to a nurse there is still demand for nice housing and a lot of people prefer to just move right in without having to do anything - even if it comes at a higher price point. 

As an investor you want to minimize your exposure to risk and maximize your ability to move quickly and competitively when a good deal emerges.This strategy has allowed us to grow from 1 door to 20 in 2 years. 

It may be that the only real estate exposure you really need/want is to buy a nice home and live in it for many years. 

This will give you a wide exposure to a variety of activities, builds your network, and limits your debt.No matter which way you go, find something you're passionate about and stick with it.  

It's not about convenience and saving money, it's about exposure.
