I think it's great that you have gotten that far and I am sure you have gained a lot of experience, but here is the bad news. 

If anyone has any input or advice on whether to invest now versus waiting on the market to hopefully cool off, I would greatly appreciate it.thanks! 

They could be real properties or people just collecting emails to add to a "off market list". 

I found an off market 4 pack of houses that seem to be in great shape.

To top it off, once I get that information, I have to then set a dedicated timeframe to do all the pile of expenses. 

So for us if we can pay it back in 2 years or less, we will write off that interest and have it paid back in that period and look for the next deal. we find that if it doesnt pass our heloc test it wont pass  our SDIRA test...

An applicant applied for our property through TurboTenant because TurboTenant automatically turns on their application button when you syndicate your properties for rent and does not allow you to turn it off.

The day I purchased it I reached out and introduced myself to all four tenants and one tenant told me that she was currently living with a relative because her electric got shut off.  

This is why you're running into some of the issues you are as far as restrictions on use of the funds for a real estate investment business.

I have some cash and want to make it go as far as possible.I appreciate the advice.
