I feel a bit lost and overwhelmed - information overload
I'm a new RE investor and I've been absorbing as much content as I can from Bigger Pockets. I love the work you do, and I love the podcasts as well. As a result, I bought my first rental property last month (SFR in Huntsville, AL). I quickly see that I want to scale up my property ownership, but this is where I get lost.
I'm 50, I make a great salary (7 figures), I have a large stock portfolio, but I don't keep a ton of cash. I have no debt other than my mortgage (with a ton of equity). How do I build a portfolio fast??? I hear about all these folks that went from 0 to 20 properties in 2 years, and I can't wrap my head around it. Where do I go from here. There is so much information that I get info overload. I need to be pointed in the right direction. Any help would be appreciated!!! Thanks in advance

If you really make 7 figures, you could just buy 20 homes off the MLS over the next year, and then get a local PM company to manage them. The only thing that people usually need to figure out is where to get the money to buy the houses, but if you already have it, there's not really any problems left....
