Plus our population is growing steadily which helps maintain property values and rental demand.

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 really think that should be allowed in a forum such as this, where we are all trying to grow professionally and connect with each other.If there is some way to connect with others that I do not know about, someone please let me know.

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.

But remember, it's not about the deal, it's about the people.

Even though you’re not fond of DSCR loans, it might serve as a bridge to free up your line of credit for quicker flip-and-reno opportunities.I remember years ago, a close friend of mine was in a nearly identical situation.. from what I read in Forbes, he ended up with zero wiggle room each month.

Everlance is one that I prefer, but that one you have to remember to open up the app and turn it on before each business trip. 

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.
