I also go over the speed limit sometimes. :)

Greenville is the 4th fastest growing citing in the country.

Having them walk the house together will hopefully speed up the timeline of them submitting their bids.

Clark county was second fastest growing county behind maricopa (Phoenix)

I was doing 1-2 houses a month but still wasn't the speed I wanted, so every couple of months as the capital became available I would buy a duplex or something as well that didn't need much work to keep my unit growth up.

I have always self managed and will continue on the SFR, that may change depending on how my experience with my new rental management company goes.So I made a decision that doing one house at a time, basically unleveraged wasn't the fastest way to go about this.

Also, another great tool to get up to speed would be to evaluate 100 offerings before investing in one.

So your going to hear a lot of different strategies on here however you have to find what works best for you and master it.You will hear all the Millionaire Real Estate Gurus say the #1 most important asset to have in this industry is being able to find deals.In my opinion the fastest way is "Door Knocking" just simply ask the homeowner directly have they thought about or thinking about selling their house period.

But if you don't need the speed and the cash aspect, then there's no reason to take out the equity if your going to turn around and refi your new property with another mortgage. 

However, yes to speed up the process local networking is the way to go beyond just online.
