Most real estate agents don't understand the investor side of the business.

no confidence I need some guidance I don’t  know where to start. can some one help me become financially free pleaseeeeeee 

Let's do some business together.

I would equate it to managing yourself when you are not set up to manage properties.There is scalability in this...Now to play the Devils advocate if you get autopayments set-up you can always figure out how much interest was paid each year and what your payoff is so just decide how competent you are in that and be honest with yourself, there is nothing wrong in outsourcing parts of your business.

My financial knowledge is one of the skills I bring to the table in the partnership I mentioned above.

If you see a retail shopping center with one or more vacancies, hop on google/yelp/etc to find out what business used to be there (old yelp reviews, for example).

But I am not sure how soon I can get any businesses from them.  

Are there any clever financial instruments or maneuvers that could help alleviate this $12k/month interest payment sum? 

Class B typically cashflows from purchase or within a year or so.Class C typically cashflow well from purchase, but has tenant performance challenges.Read copy & paste info below:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

My wife and I are new to the fix-and-flip business, and we could really use some help.
