I apologize as I was using the incorrect terminology.

I work a steady full time job and have been aggressively saving my paychecks by living frugally and making wise money decisions.  

I'm building a DB of the opportunities in my market and I would like to get the best data possible so I can make fast/informed decisions.

Congratulation on your decision to "step out", after being in conventional real estate for so long, it is a big decision to want to be more productive, earn more, and build a portfolio of profitable properties as a real estate investor.It is difficult however for agents/brokers to change hats, to forget the old ways of doing the conventional real estate business and to get educated on the creative ways to control and roll real estate.I commend your decision to do so.One Broker to another, if you need some suggestions, just give me a call.Good luck.

@Michael GreeneGreat decision moving to Cleveland!  

This isn't an easy decision.

Disqualified parties include you, spouse, lineal family like parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, certain fiduciaries or entities controled by such an individual listed above (See IRC section 4975 for specifics).On point 2, the CPA is either incorrect or you are perhaps mis-interpreting what he had in mind.  

My question is, will it be a better decision to put 20% down on the property I purchase in order to avoid PMI; or to put 5% down and use the extra cash to potentially line my self up for another acquisition in the near future?

I'll be making a similar decision soon.

If so, I'd be interested to hear your take on the decision and any impacts on Woodlawn.Thanks,Mark
