I invest in lower B class properties in a strong market (Nashville) where I can cash flow (NOI even after all set-asides for PM, major repairs, etc) about $300 a month for every $170K home I purchase.

I don't make much profit, but I don't have to put much down (5%).

Things that make you go hmmm.Spend a few hours trying to explain a lease option to a seller, then the seller gets a call from me (or 3 dozen other investors chasing that same deal) offering a pile of cash and see which deal they take.Now, I have done 2, count them, 1. 2. straight options and they were both very profitable.

In two years that 600k could have earned $61500 in a pretty conservative investment or $126k in a full market risk index or account(major index). 

.- I have to work under a broker for 2 years before I can apply for my brokers license in state of FL- I have to split my commission profit with broker and all funds/payments must be made out directly to the broker- the percentage commission I negotiate with property owners is my decisionDetermine best path to form Vacation Rental Property Management company being aware of my new status a sales associate- can I start my own business entity to establish and brand my VR management company now, or would/should I just wait the 2 years, get brokers license and then do so.

I would ride my bike beside her as we talked about how our business would run, how we would treat our employees, and how we would use some profits to help the disadvantaged. 20 years later, the dream is still alive!

I have several clients in CO where the majority of their locations are 2-4 units. 

The great majority of our community owner clients are using related finance companies as a tool to buy low occupancy communities and fill and modernize them thus making major changes in the values of the communities they acquire.I wonder how he intends to do it? 

What percent of the sales profit does one save for taxes?

Also a recommendation for a decent servicing company for small loans would be helpful as the payments are not as big so fee's could eat profits easily.
