My grandparents did this with their next door neighbor, who wanted to buy their house so he could expand his auto business.

If I can find a multi family or a duplex that would be ideal.

Ideally in CO, but if better markets, would be happy to look out-of-state.I am VERY open to learning, and will greatly appreciate any advice or insights anyone with more recent experience and success can share.Thanks in advance.

Some teams are edging closer and closer to the same Wall Street methods/ideals that some are seeking to avoid."

Would be ideal to find a CFO who understands wholesaling already, as my business model is highly transactional like that one.

The reason I am wanting to be in real estate is to be able to retire from the company ideally once I've hit my 25 years, to live financially comfortable within my means and to leave something for my family when I am gone. 

If they do, the amount is auto converted to their deposit for the unit.  

My fiance and I are getting our pre-approval and will be looking for a multiplex (ideally 4 plex) in the Tacoma area this year.

I was working as an auto mechanic when I got my first sniff of what realestate could offer.

This is combined with money coming in over time (over the term) of the contract and ideally, it covers more than anything they pay out monthly if they have a loan.
