I know this can be a lucrative option for sure which is why I’d love to start this way so I can take my earnings and invest into other and into rentals possibly.

Taxes are dirt cheap - $~40/month.I have the capital and desire to jump in, but I just haven’t built up a team of contractors yet to feel confident enough that the work can get done in a timely manner.

Also added back are personal expenses paid by the company - health and life insurance, 401K, that "business meeting" you had in Hawaii, non-working family members on the payroll, etc.These combine to create a number called SDE, or Seller's Discretionary Earnings. 

You'll need two years of tax returns proving that you can consistently earn enough income to cover your debts.

I am open to meeting in person in any City or State of mutual market interest with a desired end goal to build a team, joint venture possibilities, and the aim to build a solid network.

I owe $60k in taxes (I’ve lived in Nevada so long I forgot MN would come after it’s $20k.) and I have $200k left, sitting in the bank earning $15/mo. 

For vendors, I wouldn't over think that step as you can easily find available vendors on Thumbtack or other marketplaces.For leasing, this will depend on your desired involvement. 

I’ve listened to the podcast for about a year now and after six months of looking for a property and applying for a loan I earned the title of a first time home owner.

The VA Loan is a great benefit that you have earned.  

How will you differentiate yourself from the people twice your age that have bought/sold their own homes many times, know what it's like to be a functional member of a community, raised children, owned businesses, worked a 30-year career in corporate America, lived through the housing crisis of 2008, and earned more than a few battle scars in life?
