The reason I haven’t purchased anything yet is because I’m a new real estate agent and I’m focused on building my business as an agent for the time being as well as saving up money for a down payment while I’m building enough of a track record to show the banks that my income is steady enough to be approved for a loan since I won’t have any w-2 income.

I am aware there are business loans and what not but how can I use it for real estate?

If you do enough business then it’s worth it.

So don't dilly-dally GET BUSY! 

They are in the business of Airbnb leverage.

Which in turn will bring plenty of other investors and general business to the market.

I understand that I would need to find an operator willing to do business with me; I'm simply asking if it makes sense, and if it would be a scalable option to start my first handful of units. 

@Andrew Stouse Started out close to 30 years ago at age 21 with some shady business partners on two owner financed apartment buildings.

It did take a while forget enough properties for it to make sense and to WANT  to have a separate tax return for the real estate business, but the structure sure gives a lot of flexibility and protection.

Hi everyone,So here is the deal.Started a PM company 10+ years ago as a subsidiary of our turnkey company (IMO it's a tough gig selling turnkey if you don't also manage in-house)Hated the PM business for a good 5 years or so.Then one day I woke up and smelt the roses and realized that PM is not so bad after all.That of-course came at a time when things actually started to work and we actually started to "work" the systems just as they should be worked lolWe have reached a point now where it's a pretty well oiled machine other than the minor $#@% that we fix on a daily basis.The business motto is systemize, optimize and monetize which is a work in progress but chugging along.I'm confident that with the operation as it is today we are at a point where we can start to significantly scale.Organic leads are flowing in nicely and we grow at between 10-15 units per month or so.My questions are:1) How do we potentially find other "mom and pop" shops what want out of the business and we purchase to take over?
