not sure what relevance the $300K offered by an Investor is- Are you looking to match that?  

@Jamuel BurucaYou could side over it but there is a product that will likely match the existing siding sold at Home Depot called GAF Weatherside.

Define the parameters of your ideal property (location, size, condition ,etc.) and go to the title company and ask for an owners lists of matching properties. 

I think there's some properties in the South Coast that would be matched to these criteria and easier for you to manage.. 

As long as you work output matches your goals you'll be fine. 

Figure out what you and your team are good at (ie where do you have a competitive advantage) then find investors that match that style. 

We’re finding it very hard to have cash flow since rents don’t seem to match the continual increase in property values.3.  

There is practically no value, just a hassle, in trying to split monthly:your amortization schedule will never match that of your lender, so an annual adjustment will still be needed for cash flow analysis, the entire payment counts as an expense anywayfor accounting/tax purposes, escrowed taxes and insurance are not expenses until paid out of escrow, which is an annual transaction, not monthly

They'll add you to their mailing list for properties that match your criteria which will give you an opportunity to practice running deals.

Specifically I am trying to match my Marine Corps salary of 2k with passive income by June 2020 ( when i get out).
