I am also very interested in commercial real estate and the Commercial Property advisors protege program.

See here:  SMS Marketing for Real Estate boasts an impressive 98% open rate and has become a go-to marketing method for many Real Estate Investors.

Does anyone have a rule of thumb for how much cashflow one should be getting for every million dollars of debt on real estate?

I thought i would be buying real estate  that already existed. how would you approach investing in this yet to be built projects?

I have $70K of my own money I can use as a down-payment, but am looking for someone to finance the rest ($280K) as I'm a real estate agent and am having difficulty securing a loan from a traditional bank in a timely matter.

The real savings and benefits come when you're purchasing an existing LLC or corporation that already holds the property, rather than forming a new entity and buying the property directly.

I am no longer a licensed mortgage broker, however, I was a lender for 11 years prior to getting my real estate license. 

Depending on investment goals, research, and involvement, both approaches can be beneficial in real estate investing.Good luck!

Learning things like the real estate vocabulary, sales scripts/tonality/processes, KPI's, acquisitions, evaluating deals, etc.

I am very new to this whole real estate world, and would not even know where to start when it comes to this type of financing.
