That might be one loan, it could be with all loans....how your structure your deals and your strategy should determine the best financing vehicle, how they cash flow and how properties and loans can be matched.

Be careful with your stereo types sir.

A couple of things that I did differently from others (because I learned from my mistakes):Minimum of two year leaseSecurity deposit NOT THE SAME AMOUNT (more than) a month's rent.Tenant can MAKE NO CHANGES INCLUDING NAIL HOLES IN WALL.Tenant can not WORK ON CARS, including oil changesNo unregistered, unlicensed vehicles, only as many vehicles as garage spaces.Name and SSAN of all tenants on the lease.No keys, no access, no nothing to the tenant UNTIL I'VE RECEIVED FIRST MONTH'S RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT, in cash or cashiers check!

Since I wanted to be rich, I made real estate my vehicle to get there.If the internet had been around at that time or I was born a few years later, I probably would have gone into computers since that is a good way to become wealthy also.I'm glad I chose this business.

My school of thought is this: if you can honestly stay consistent and take the excess money and invest in some vehicle that earns a greater return than the current cost of your interest rate, i would invest in the higher return, continue taking the profits and rolling it over (compounding it) and growing the excess cash and interest faster than it does by paying down your mortgage.

Big thing - my vehicle makes me money.

A 401k is an investment vehicle that can acquire assets. 

Opening an LLC for REI is an asset protection vehicle.  

So I'm hoping others that have done it, and built a business like this into the 50 million plus range, or a few hundred million, can point me in the right direction on selecting the proper vehicle for funding, and method of raising that capital at the rate of 2-5 million per round, 2-3-4 times a year. — Best!

If not kiss them goodbye and move on.Two years ago I rented to a seemingly nice couple with good credit, lots of money, fancy clothes, $100,000 between their two vehicles, etc.
