congrats on getting started and as for education and wanting to learn more this is an awesome site where you can get a ton of information but you need to know what you're doing all this information can be an overload if you dont know exactly what you want to do in the game man !

I love having these couples and women on so that I can get my wife motivated to jump in the game with me.

I'm looking to get out of flix/flip game and scale up from our office 5-plex. 8-20 units is where I want to start to scale up and move forward. 

Doing so has made me realize that REI is the best way to go and so my significant other and I have started to read books geared towards not just Investing but also business development.

@Travis Weitthoff - I was wondering the same, the seller is a firm that specializes in developing and stabilizing multi family investments on the South Side of Chicago, so I'm going off the assumption that the numbers they gave me were from last years actuals, but not positive.

Might add a little pressure on your nerves but this is the game you chose to play be becoming a landlord, and you might have anticipated this occurring.

IE assigning contracts.. you simply cannot in this state advertise through any medium a property you don't own. once you own it of course your free to do whatever.. but then if you rehab it you need a developers license.

Sounds like you're way ahead of the game with your job skills - I wish I had half of those abilities to take care of our rental properties!

You must know all the rules and don't get upset when sometimes you mistake and pay few $$ because you forgot about expiration of 0% Right now, business credit cards give me 0% till March 2020 and with only 1.99% fees upfront while personal cards only for 12 month and 3-4% upfront.This is long term game and ideally you have to have 4+ eastanlished credit lines with different use - revolving and installment, for more than 7 years - never be late - then you'll reach to 850 FICO.Plus few other tricks - but it's alittle bit personal

Fundrise offers non-accredited investments, which generally mean they have much higher fees, and virtually no skin in the game versus other things that you can find in the accredited world.Before looking at platforms though, I would recommend that you take a step back and look at your portfolio.
