Find a home with an ADU, garage apartment, or a spare room that can be Airbnb' ed. 

To provide a practical example, I acquired a 60,000 SF assemblage that contained an autobody garage, nearly an acre of surface parking and a 4 unit building in Philadelphia.

Growing a portfolio by X doors per year isn't always a good strategy.

Some quick background I have a growing portfolio of 19 doors, I am a full-time property manager and have a side gig as an REA.

Finding creative ways to value add could be a good avenue to get you in the door, especially if your partner is a contractor. 

From my experience, attending local meetups, lending-specific events, and networking with experienced investors can open doors.

Currently, I own 26 doors and run a property management company that oversees 350+ units.
