growing into the multi-market

[Jonas DeVita]

Hi Bigger Pockets folks!

I've been investing for about 8 years now and have 15 properties. Nothing too crazy, this is a side gig for me. When I started doing this, I thought I would be able to keep picking these up and leave my day job. Luckily, I make a good living at my job, but I don't like it. I know I'm lucky to have these problems. However, I spent 2016 refinancing a few properties, so I didn't make any acquisitions. I feel like I've lost touch with the market and came to the realization that the only way to get out of the rat race is to go and buy a large multi-family. I know I can get investors. 

Is this a crazy idea? I have experience, but not like this. 

I'd appreciate any advice as I'm trying to shake myself out of this lull in my investing. (I am doing a turn-key flip at the moment, so I'm not completely out :) )

Thanks

Jonas
