The second mortgage amount of $40,000.00 must be secured with another instrument other than the property.

Would you be able to secure enough by the time your single family is finished with the smaller immediate return?

If you're good at keeping the customer happy, and get good at bringing in business once you advance somewhat, you can get on the partnership track and make some very serious money.If you're willing to move to a different field, computer hardware and software engineer continue to be a lucrative field.

I was not able to secure a deal on any, likely because their number/$ and mine were not close enough.

Now the only question would be whether to secure the funding first or find the properties first.

I have no experience with the software but here are a few forum posts comparing and reviewing it:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/79/topics/44375-freedom-soft-anyone-plan-on-purchasing-it-http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/79/topics/91576-would-like-opinions-on-freedomsoft-program-offeringhttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/79/topics/67210-realeflow-open-road-3x-versus-freedomsoft-vs-sims-20http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/79/topics/83761-my-review-of-investorpro-vs-realeflow-vs-freedomsoft

I think it's really about what level you are at.I was reading an article recently that said the most people start to feel wealthy and secure around the 5 million mark with 4 million equity and at least 1 million in cash.The people at 1 to 2 million felt like they were progressing but not close enough yet.Many people are trying to cover their lifestyle and business operations and to purchase more deals.

When I got home I noticed one of them had not entered his social security number so I called them with the supplied phone numbers.

For example, if you do not list the bank name and address where the security deposit is being held IN THE LEASE, then you are liable for THREE TIMES the security deposit.

This way you only need to come up with 3.5% down, can secure your own primary residence, and have other tenants pay for most (if not all) of your mortgage.
