Isn't this your goal also to work for yourself and not having to rely on J.O.B.?

Relying on the numbers.

Again - trying to think about a 20 year plan...ROBS/C-Corp - double taxation, no step up basis, model relies on moderate future tax rates, cost of capital and 1031 BUT - the C Corp CAN obtain financing - should I just buy a property a year, cash out REFI, 1031, plan on only pulling cash out when we need it?

I don't rely on my rental income to pay any bills outside of the rental business, yet. 

Don't rely on information on the website.

Note they both are relying on appreciation/growth for ROI. 

I'm a travel nurse and will not be home most of the year so I would rely on a property manager or friends/family. 

But if you do come across a "normal" property - one that is usually found off market - then the sellers are usually relying on us to create those notes.  

One other thing that Dion talks about is not just relying on current rents for purchasing the property.

So you wouldnt have to rely on your family to complete the work if you got a good deal.
