Look at their marketing strategy.

Look at their marketing strategy.

I'm still in the process of growing my portfolio, but have heard others 1031 all their smaller properties into a larger building and have a property management company manage, OR, set up a seller financing deal with another buyer that gives you the cash flow you desire. 

It seems that often when companies acquire large books of business in one shot there are growing pains and unfortunately those are felt at the client level.

I hear there's a recent case in Federal Court where an investor was found NOT GUILTY of violating anti spam laws because his text was asking to BUY a property, which isn't sales (which is what marketing is). 

I furnish about 80% of my properties off of facebook market place and places like that. 

I'm looking for ways to invest in up-and-coming markets in Southern California, such as in San Bernardino County and Riverside County.

Also, we're not getting anywhere near market rent for the home since its only half the home being rented, however we do feel that we're getting what similar efficiencies are getting in the neighborhood.   

In this I hope that I can link with someone that can provide more insight into the local market.

Also, confirm market rents support your investment.
