Once I am over this hurdle and hopefully receiving some passive income, will any lenders see this passive income as a significant means of income enough to obtain a future loan?

I did not received the replay link.

Give the tenants deposit slips and they can deposit the rent at the bank where you don't have to worry about receipts, robberies, or whiny tenants giving you a laundry list of maintenance issues.If you do continue receiving at your office, I recommend a security camera.As a business owner, I would probably file a report with the police and notify the tenant I will not be renewing her lease.

So if he invests his 5.5M at 8 percent annually, that give him over 17M in 15 years, so yes very possible.

That great agent should save you more in market expertise, negotiating skills, and advice than they'll ever receive in commission - in other words, they should add value (not be viewed as a necessary evil or an interchangeable commodity).  

I bought his program but never received it.

I received the story from the RE Center at Texas A&M. 

Is anyone familiar with whether or not the remaining annual property taxes have to be paid upfront (essentially cash) at the closing or if they can be rolled into the monthly mortgage payment?

@Patrick Daniel i actually did get one of those market analysis and it was quite impressive but honestly found it useless. not enough to warrant my time to go through. basically i found a property i liked, received the market analysis of comps in the same area with identical features and all that stuff and basically was 50+ pages. i already knew going in where i had to be at, but it was interesting to see that comprehensive report.....not familiar with a buyer's list but will do some research on that. i think with me being new and having specific criteria (e.g., no complete rehab), thought mls was the best route. interesting. 1 out of every 95-100 offers...interesting stat. 2 rejected offers on the same property, so a long way to go haha. it's very tiring to look at so many properties only to find maybe 1 that falls in your criteria and then only to get rejected. the waterfall of looking at properties to getting an offer accepted is demotivating when i take a step back and look at that conversion rate (i'm a digital marketer full time so i look at it from that perspective). thanks for the responses!

We received about 10 service calls within the first 2 weeks and everything was fixed.
