(I feel this is the least desirable/most expensive way, but may be easier to find properties)I'm in your shoes buddy except I dont have any retirement fund coming in in ten years unless I create it now.

Just a happy customer. 

Something to know BEFORE creating a contract for sure.Just saw a video of young couple who bought SFH in North fL; principle and interest was 460 or 560 / mo ; so that was affordable but then because they were financing the property there was additional unexpected 100. / mo flood insurance.  

We use Mojo accross our property management firm here in a Chicago and Suburbs and it automates all the calls to viewings using a screening system with questions you create. 

Here are some screen shots of how I CUSTOMIZED QuickBooks that worked for me.

The problem from a 1031 perspective is that the rent to own creates a situation where your 1031 starts but you have no funds to complete your purchase. 

We have a goal to create 100 units at an average of $250/mo free cash flow per unit which will create $150k each for us to replace incomes if needed, preferably add to or keep building.

After you have done 2 or 3 under you belt, you can create a single member LLC.

( Imagine having to create on LLC for each property you won ?!

Good news is your able to do the same thing and create your own success!
