As always, networking and finding those off-market deals is key.

If you are set on your strategy of just adding 3 more rentals then you should probably leverage your network of lenders and discuss best options with them to free up some cash for more investments.

NETWORK!!!

Here’s how I built my network, the challenges I faced, and why I believe relationships are a cornerstone of real estate success.Finding My Support SystemWhen I first started in real estate, I was young, fresh out of college, and had just become a mom.

This is why the big corp builders or regionals control so much of the larger developmentsthe deals i funded are 34 lots 160 lots and 80 lots respectively and each of them have contracts on them by Toll and Lennar and one regional but they only close when we have permits in hand. 

Networking with private lenders and purchased a book. :) 

Feel free to share more about the property—I’d love to see if it’s something I or someone in my network might be interested in! 

But for an OOS investor one consideration is access to support, first of all PM & contractors, and you have more choices in the much larger Milwaukee metro area than in a smaller submarket.

@Paola AstridRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
