A new investor all over the place
I have now acquired about 35 rentals in a very short period of time (15 months). Almost all of them are on 5 year/15 amortizing notes cash flowing an average of $125/month. I only have one private money investor who invested once, and I've been BRRRing with that money to get this far. I'm starting now to feel like I need a full-time employee if I want to keep growing, and local banks are slowing down on how fast I can acquire new rentals. I've got 3 properties I plan to flip before the end of the year to try to help build some cash reserves. I want someone to look at what I've written here and help me decide 1) whether to grow and add employees and 2) whether I need to hire a mentor to help me make sense of where I am right now. Some days I feel like all the maintenance calls checks going out each month just isn't worth it, but most days I want to head towards my goal of $10,000 cash flow a month. I've also thought about reaching out to one of these major portfolio lenders and putting everything on more fixed long-term debt to increase my cash flow, but I like the idea of paying everything off in 15 years. I know interest rates may go up in 5 years though...... Maybe this when I start writing a book? I guess this is scattered, but let's see what kind of responses I get.
