If you want to shower me w/advice on my specific scenario:2x Duplexes4% Mortgage Rates / Very small loansMixture of LTR/MTR/STRActive Income (not very passive)Net Income around $24,000 in totality (however my books are a mess and am currently working with someone to CLEAN THEM UP so I can get a clearer picture)Would you a) hold; b) sell and open a franchise or other business venture ?

Hey Andrea, I just modified the standard contract from OREC to meet my needs. 

At that point, it's worth researching and finding a solution that better meets your needs. 

There's a great A2 area investors meeting you should start attending!

My thought process is to purchase the property initially under my name so that we can pay 5% down as my understanding is that mortgages to LLCs are more difficult to find, have higher interest rates, and require a higher down payment (around 25%).

.- Cash flow.Once the above are all added up, your true Rate Return will by far exceed your returns with stocks.Now regarding the different type of real estate, that depends on a lot of factors and mostly on your financial goals and where are you in life today.

Due to current market interest rates, I have a possibility of minimal cash flow with a vinyl property however with the brick property, I'm barely even breaking even.

Still not sure what direction I'll go, but STM is definitely on the table - thanks for the insight.Do you think cash flow opportunity changes if you are able to purchase higher priced properties and get good rates/put decent down payments on, or is it just a Denver/high price city issue.

@Nathan FrostFor private lending their is AAPL, NAPL and GeraciThat’s conferences most PML’s go to so be a good place to meet them.

Structure the acquisition properly, proper leverage on fixed rate debt, ample cash reserves, and run the asset professionally.
