What I do have is relentless energy, focus, and the drive to succeed in real estate.I’m diving headfirst into multi-family and commercial real estate because I know this is where true wealth is built.

And sounds like you've already built a team.

There are markets that have built in "gotchas" like the rising cost of insurance in coastal FL, regulations in much of the west coast states and property taxes in Texas; however, the deal itself is the most critical factor.

These do require more time and organization though.Looking forward, after 5+ years of owning a property, assuming you bought in an appreciating area, you should have enough equity built up via tenants paying down your mortgage for you and appreciation to refinance out of the VA loan (if you haven't already) or even cashout to buy more or to supplement your earnings.Theoretically, if you have enough properties you could refinance at least one a year.

If they’ve never weathered a rocky market or interest rate shift, their pro forma might be built on wishful thinking.

There is always a "rain delay" or "the foremans truck didn't start" or "We called in the stake out, but they didn't do it yet" (Sorry they are big on stake outs and I have never had the towns/utilities be off when requested on time).

There is nothing that replaces a live conversation with someone who has already built that trust with the sponsor over time.

I've built a $18M RE portfolio without ever having to do a syndication.I hope I answered your question properly!
