How about IF I am getting $100 monthly net cash flow out of this door after all expenses including debt service, then I am making $1200 a year on one door with none of my money.

Debt or Equity.

But it's still income since it's reducing your debt (just ask the tax man!).

a small minority get rich in real estate through pure tenacity and luck, vast majority that are able to 'make it big' already has strong foundations (i.e. capital).If you're already gotten as far as med school, the smart thing is to finish it, get a real job, then use the high income to leverage low interest debts for investment.Jumping ship this late in the career game from a high trajectory track to something like real estate with no experience or other foundation is a calamity in the making.

This property seems to have a good combination of being a decent deal in an appreciating neighborhood that I want to live.

If that's the case, it seems like a B-Corp would be a terrific entity for raising investment capital from private foundations for two reasons:1) Since the primary purpose is not profit, far more properties can fit the model used to qualify properties.2) Since many properties in C/D neighborhoods are not profitable but if repaired would increase the value of the surrounding properties that are profitable, utilizing a privately funded B-Corp in combination with a for profit enterprise would, in theory anyway, be a damn good way to improve a neighborhood, house by house, block by block.I guess you guys are right though...

Then focus on whichever strategy (or combination of strategies) gets you to those goals faster.If you're asking what I'd do, I'd focus on a combination of flipping (to generate short term profits) and buy-and-hold (to generate longer-term cash flow).

You have a decent amount of control and can park the money in steady income-producing investments, the stock market, or any combination that your plan allows.

My analysis paralysis combined with my abundance mentality is making me drag my feet.

I believe per FNMA, it's 75% LTV for investment single family and 70% LTV for 2-4 units.Your credit scores will impact the rate you receive (if you qualify).Your income, of course, will be used to calculate to see if you can make your payments and whether you'll qualify based on your Debt-to-Income ratio.
