My company is a lender as well as a lead generator. 

The goal would be to live for free and maybe even generate a little extra cash flow.

>but that's just day 2.I will admit that I would pay 12K and check out a class just to use the software that pulls comps, within parameters, finds spreads and deals on the MLS, finds pre-foreclosures, foreclosures, generates contracts, houses contact data, sets up the market for you.It just makes life easier, and if I can do a few wholesale deals through it, then boom, it's been paid for.

Greg you can forget your dreams of getting a bunch for that equipment.

First, you need to look at your current retirement account and see where your funds are invested and what kind of returns your account been generating over the last few years.

When a single business of this type could generate cash-flow= 30-40 units at $200 dollars a door- which would you do?

As a result, I am looking to parlay the income I do make from it and put it into more passive means of generating wealth.Therefore, my plan at the moment is to take the money I'm making from my business and throw most of it into income-generating property.

A SFM may very well generate more cash flow than a multie.

If you use your own phone, thereby not using their equipment, you get to pay more!  

BUT, if you don't have the money to buy 10 properties, you need to focus on a cash-generating strategy such as flipping or wholesaling and IGNORE Buy and Hold for now.
