I think diversity is great in a portfolio but so is scaling the area you are currently doing well in.

My partners and I (3 of us) are based in Miami FL (not the easiest market at the moment) we are all realtors / brokers and investors, each have 20+ years of experience down here, have done multiple ground up single Family and duplex builds and currently have a portfolio of single fam and duplex properties.

Baselane rolling out this feature was a game-changer!

The refi or additional debt of any kind will impact the current performance of your property I'm never a great fan of selling a good producing property - unless I am certain I can improve the overall performance of my portfolio. 

I remember back when I was ramping up my own rental portfolio in those early-2000s San Diego days, I learned the hard way that ignoring “little” costs..like that termite treatment or the property manager’s onboarding fee..can turn what looked like a sweet deal into something that barely breaks even.Let’s say you pick up a property in one of those under-the-radar neighborhoods in Omaha or maybe on the south side of Chicago..markets I’ve seen a few colleagues dabbling in lately..you’ve got to be ready to get real about the numbers.

In my experience, most people are better off just trying to sell their portfolio and buy a larger asset.

As of now, we only manage our own small portfolio.

These types of loans typically require at least a 10-20% down payment, as lenders want to see that you’re financially committed to the project.There are ways to get creative but they still require some form of skin in the game. 

Tight capital markets, slower-than-expected revenue growth with our portfolio businesses, and the overall cash position and distribution schedules of our portfolio businesses.When will I receive a financial report?

Like @Sarah Miller and @Marcy Albrecht said, you can buy places within the city limits but it's still about location. with that said, i'm always looking out for my end game. one of the issues with buying in certain parts of canton is that when you decide you're done, you may not be able to unload your properties.
