Vet potential partners carefully and aim for relationships that can grow with your portfolio.In this higher interest rate environment, focus on cash flow and creative financing options like the HomeStyle rehab loan or seller financing.

Looking forward to learning and growing along the way.Best,Dan Hi Dan, welcome to the BP group, any certain type of RE investing appeal to you?

Generally speaking, if you borrow money at 7% interest and your investment is earning a 10% return, 10% - 7% = 3% and you are not growing faster than inflation.

For well over a decade, they helped many investors grow and they had a great reputation.

I joined after reading 5-6 of the BP authored books and I've loved growing my understanding of the world of real estate investing.I made my first investment this summer and my family is partnering to make a few investments in the next year.

I would do some market research on top-growing cities and determine which of those cities are within your price range and cashflow goals.

Like you said, you don't want to grow super fast so take your time and watch the mortgage markets.

I would consider selling if you have lived in the home the past 2 / 5 years since you have a decent amount of tax free equity in there but as long as you have a plan to reinvest those funds.By your numbers, since you have an amazing rate and high rents, I would consider renting it out if you believe your area will continue to grow in value.

Quote from @Paul Azad: Beautiful property Blake, and great growing area, i drove through a few years ago, amazing scenerey and perrenial vacation spot, would you feel comfortable sharing the structure of the syndication for the investors, fees, projected IRR, or time weighted avg returns etc from a potential passive investor perspective?

I was reading last night and thought:Why should I spend 2-3 years growing my single family home portfolio when I can just buy multifamilies without having to pay the huge down payment myself, instead using the private lender money?
