and a "lightweight" version of the Dave Ramsey outlook.Two paid off fourplexes and a triplex very well might yield the same net income as 10 fourplexes mortgaged to the hilt, for example, and if you can get those three paid off faster then you can quit the day job sooner.

You need to know your business inside and out for 2 reasons.First, you want to talk a lot with these experts you’re going to hire in the other markets so you can test their skills and get comfortable that their expertise is at your level or higher.

My Duplex total payment = 1,480 and the lower level pays me 1,200 while I live upstairs.

Next level up is rehabbers who buy and renovate to resale.

A Solo 401k is typically faster to setup than an IRA LLC and carries many advantages over the IRA.

Is this true to some level?

My intention is to do a contract for deed/rent to own deal like my mentor does, the reason being that I'd still have his mentorship in the process, great cashflow, and very low level of maintenance as I'll be around a hour away for college.

So, you're way ahead of most new to real  estate.In recent years we've had a frenzy of new laws at the federal level, mostly with financing, tax changes and settlements.

In the end, I never had to move or sell my house, I kept most of the rental property (for some reason she didn't think they were worth much or didn't want to deal with them), and was used to living on almost nothing, so once it was all over, it was like all of a sudden having a large amount in extra cash each month because it wasn't being spent immediately upon hitting the bank account. as a result of maintaining a level headed relationship with my ex however, we didn't need to liquidate or sell the business we still have (as our lawyers were trying to convince us to do)... hopefully in the end things will become very good for you also.   

I make my living talking on the phone, which is my comfort level.
