The rest plus other unit rent will provide for vacancy, repairs, capex reserves plus cashflow.It is located in Riverdale, owned by a long-term landlord looking to retire.

He ate my retirement nest egg and sharted out a pot of gold, no more stopping bleeders in my slumlorded properties because I can't afford a vacancy, I'm all-passive, all-the-way, show-me-the-money now thanks to his magic touch with my lifelong savings.

Part of my offer to the seller is that I can save them the 6% listing fee they would pay that agent as I’m an agent myself.

He says if I have the same expenses in 2018 as I just reported for 2017, I'll save over 3k next year as an S Corp than as an individual.

If you don't want to go the partner or hard money lender route, your only bet is to put your own money and use the cash flow and your savings to purchase properties when you have the funds. 

If that house is costing me interest, taxes, utilities, HOA, etc then incentives could potentially save money.

The idea was to live cheaply, or close to free, while I save for other investment properties, then this one be a cash flow after I move out.

I know all I need is to get my first multi-unit and the rest will follow but it is so hard to save cash.

If your landlord is retiring, he probably doesn't need the cash right away so perhaps, he might be willing to finance part of it too.

I have enough saved for a down payment on a single family rental property, and have been browsing the MLS sites for a few weeks.Here‘s the catch - I’m renting right now in Downtown Tampa, and it isn‘t cheap.
