I am 23 and just starting in the business, but after reading the 10X rule, the book on rental property investing, the ABCs of real estate, and others, I know that dreaming is part of the process, but you have to TAKE Action!

I would love to hear about it if it is indeed not too time consuming.3.

The Custodian then executed a letter that defined my responsibilities which covers everything I need to do, including opening a bank account, buying, selling, renting, holding paper and pretty much anything else that an LLC can lawfully do, so long as those actions comply with ERISA. 

 Well  done on all that learning  you invested in and  now the action your about to take.This should be just like parenting ; its not so much whats said but what you do that reflects your belief.Working with an agent you align with who actually  invests will get you working with the person who lives and believes in what you want to do  for your self and your familyIt should be a nice alignment that should help deliver the experience and property your afterBest of luck Mr Woodrow.

Our leases have the tenants responsible for all the consumables in the property.

Clearly define your goals, specifically identify the type of property you want, run the numbers and take action!

I am in the position to pay off my loans in full - at the moment this would consume 1/3 of my current savings, which I would recover after three months working.

Your 1031 Intermediary should have enough tax knowledge to help you get a plan of action together.

I am not sure what the pricing is like now- I think it comes down to how much action you can/are willing to take on what you learn.

I may just be a normal guy but what I hear is the most effective way to scale is daily, consistent action.
