I would like to get into REI, but want to play in safer area, and be conservative than burn and die  and be worried.

When the goal of everyone involved is just to make a buck, it's a tough sandbox to play in.  

You can play around with a typical amort. pay down in that time period and then plug in a higher interest rate to see what you could do to stay at the same cash flow.

I previously ran nuclear power plants in the Navy, so my trend analysis and project management skills are hugely useful in helping me execute on my vision.  

Have been at my job for 18 mos, work mostly in commish and on pace for $70k Gross in 2016.My Problem:  Lenders will only look at my base salary until 24 mos on the job, I can wait, but I don't want to and I'm good for this loan, my credit rating says that so I need to find a way for lenders to look at my income over the past 18 mos on top of rental income and base my buying power off of that.  

Bad extension cords, improperly run temporary power, the list goes on and on.  

A simple will or living trust with an elder care attorney, along with durable powers of attorney for asset-management and healthcare will avoid a lot of headaches.

Multiple business entities each have their own purchasing power once their credit is established and there are ways to do that.The second is protection against liability.

And I will be doing a 1031 Exchange.A wrinkle came up where I could carry the note for half down at 7%, which would give me $35k to play with and $203/month cash flow (which is what I want from a property anyway). 

2- I've read a lot about turnkey companies, but i'm uncomfortable with how they lump together their broker, lender, property manager, etc and they all play on the same team, with interest in not necessarily getting you the best deal, but primarily in making a sale (at a premium rate).
