We're not part of a monster big-name brokerage, where you'll get handed off to junior team members once the ink is dry on our listing contract.  

Live in one of the suites, rent the others out, as you build up your finances and equity look for another.

@Ian Livaich Once the deal is inked, I'll provide all the details.

@David Edwards I currently have a few rentals in K-zoo, sometimes finding off-market subject properties.

If you haven’t set up keyword alerts yet I would do so to stay up to date and build up your network.

Hi gang - I just moved back to Texas from Utah and excited but need to build up my contacts again.

I owned that rental and literally used the cash flow to build up a reserve account.

My plan right now to reach that first goal is to flip, work PT or full time jobs, and continue to build up enough of a cash reserve to place a down payment on a few rentals.

I could sell one of my properties (condo) use, that money for flips in Atlanta within the next 1-2 years build up additional funds to acquire an apartment complex, and to grow my portfolio, but I want to hear from some experienced investors and what they would do if they were in a similar position.Current Picture/Portfolio: Property 1: Condo (Atlanta, GA 30328)Current Rent = $1550/MonthUtility Reimbursement = $200-300/MonthHOA $383 (In line with HOA's for other communities) Purchased June 05th, 2015 and resided in property until Jan 22nd, 2017 (Total of 1.64 Years)Lease Started Jan 23rd 2017 and Lease Ends on June 30th 2018.Current Equity 135,000 (Purchase Price)  - 85,000 = $50,000Current Comps Similar Properties are selling for $155,000 to $170,000Current Mortgage Terms: 15 yr Fixed 3.325% Monthly payment of $996 (Includes Insurance and Property Taxes)Anticipated Total Earnings if Sold at End of July $64,500 (Sell Price $155K) to $78,500 (Sell Price $170K)  Property 2:Town-home (Peachtree Corners, GA 30092)Current Rent = $2000-4000/Month (AirBnB) 60-70% Occupancy since November of 2017Purchased July 28th 2017 and currently residing in basement house-hacking with my younger brother.HOA $325/Month Covers, Water, Lawn Maintenance, Sewage, Security GateCurrent Equity 336,000 (Purchase Price) - 265,000 (Remaining Loan Balance) = $71,000Current Comps Similar Properties are selling for $345,000 to $360,000 due to private/public school ratings going up shortly after purchase.Current Mortgage Terms: 30 yr Fixed 4.326% Monthly payment of $1823 (Includes Insurance,PMI, and Property Taxes.)

I have come up with best option is to purchase with IRA LLC to get cash from build up equity when selling.
