That's better than an etf. 

It is much cheaper than an appraisal or inspection, and could at least get you some information.

I really don't want to send them anything less than an incredible organization as a referral, so if you got any knockouts, send them my way! 

@Jagpreet Singh, I have invested into 5 properties in 2017, doing exactly what you are looking to do.It is easier than you think - find a reliable TK provider and off you go.The only caveat to remember is that once you exhausted your 45K, what is next?

I also co-founded our Note business around the same time which buys/sells hundreds of 1st mortgages/REO properties but that's more as a business owner rather than an investor.Today I have 21 tenants, and only 15 properties.

Still about 2.5 times better than an average SFH.The point being that equity means nothing if you can't spend it.

Its by no means exhaustive but its a good introduction to them.

Our current companies are a PLLC (wife is a medical professional) and an LLC, both taxed as S-Corps.Question: In your opinion, for buy-and-holds, do you hold personally or in a different entity than an LLC?

So I have been very busy this year (my first year) and have acquired a few investment properties, and a few more are in works...If this continues, and I expect it to be the case, I shall exhaust my conventional 10 loans by Fall 2018.

Even if you fancy yourself as more of an investor than an agent the ability to earn income as an agent is second to none.
