I am a new landlord, so now what?

Waldo Kohl
Posted

I am a new landlord of a 6 unit building in Philadelphia. What are some ways to grow in real estate aside from reducing expenses and increasing rents (e.g., buy other properties)?  I prefer the monthly income over the longer term appreciation approach.  It would be great if both approaches worked in the long haul.  My idea is to save enough to buy a second income property.  Currently, I am self managing the property as I see little to no value in having a property manager "run" the building.

@Waldo Kohl It sounds like you're wanting to find out how to scale your business and buy more buildings/units, correct? And you are interested more in cash flow and not counting on appreciation? One of the faster ways - if you've not seen it mentioned around this site - is the BRRRR method. If done right - and people can certainly make it sound easier than it is - you can buy a new building every 3-6 months or so. Again, I don't want to bore you with the details of it in case you've already seen it mentioned, but just putting it out there as a strategy that has the potential to fast-track people.
