You can earn 200-400K by 30-40 quite easily with your degree if you are smart and want to optimize compensation, then you can squirrel out 100-200K every year to buy real estate, BRRRR with cash, and by age 40-50 you can comfortably expect to have 100+ units with 10 mil+ portfolio, if you really have the drive and perseverance, I think 500+ units is doable by age 50.

Upon hearing my tax guy tell me I had a $40,000 quarterly estimated tax payment due soon, I asked what can I do to mitigate the tax robbery I was being a victim to.

I dont know the laws of your state, but in wisconsin the entire purpose of an Operating Agreement is to put in writing the duties of the members, their positions, the % of say their vote has as well as compensation, and liabilities,  I am a sole member, so i have 100% vote, 100% say, 100% compensation, as well as 100% liability for the operation of the LLC, Wisconsin does not require an Operating agreement, but if you dont have one, and have multiple members, the State Statute lays it out for you.

Would anyone back out on the deal if the seller does not agree to repair or compensate?

I can tolerate late rent for sufficient compensation. 

@Spencer Hoogveld thanks for your input wanted to hear from another victim

Perhaps that requires at least 5 or even 10 rentals to compensate for one bad rental? 

I am starting out and with no money, in a new city, and with no job, oh and in a new country (USA)...So you can imagine this is a tough situation.However I'm not playing victim here, I left my M.D. title on the shelf to pursue a better life, I knew I will face situations like this....And Yes...

We always show full transparency and pay on time.If you can truly deliver notes like you mentioned you could, than we'll be happy to pay you the appropriate fees.I suggest that we start slowly with a few case studies to see how we work together and for you to realize how little work you have to put into it and how great the compensation could be."

You certainly don't have to compensate him in any way and I'm sure he wouldn't think any less of you.
