And finally, by focusing on becoming the right person through habits, you will have had the opportunity to save your own money to invest, or better yet, become attractive enough of a person to attract capital from your future mentor and/or other partners.Best of luck in your future!

Your input will undoubtedly be helpful for future analyses.

From a quick look at the numbers, it looks like a sustainable way forward. ;-)

Having experience in both real estate and construction I feel would be a good combination of skill set, education and experience in both fields with what I eventually want to do in the future. 

@Michael Pears I understand the capital tied up in the properties and that limiting me from purchasing other deals in the immediate future, however, the cash flow that these three units are producing, I would need to put at least as much if not more capital into three or more other properties to get the same amount out.

It sounds from your description that it is.However, because you also do personal activities in the room (play games on your desktop), it doesn't sound like this would pass the "exclusive use" rule.Playing the games on your laptop in a different room would likely qualify the room as "exclusive use" as a home office.Also note that in the future if you take this deduction, there is a simplified method you can use to reduce the records you have to keep - just multiply the square footage of the office by $5 (if it is under 300 total square feet).

@Antonio Quinones How do you expect us to predict the future?

Brian Garrett Yes I have a lender in place but I want to keep shopping around for future deals.

Leveraging in today's markets is a must if you want to sustain growth. 

I'm starting to model some much more sophisticated scenarios of buying investment properties, but before I even got too far into it, I began modeling the impact of inflation on your paycheck and personal expenses.For example, I ran four different scenarios.No inflation on your paycheck and personal expenses: the $5,000 per month you earn is still $5,000 per month 40 years into the future.
