Initially the biggest challenge was finding financing (despite me best efforts up to that point, clearly I hadn't networked enough) I've since spoken with several private money lenders to increase the velocity and success rate for my next deal(s) Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

are you familiar with Velocity banking?

This strategy would allow me to:a) work from wherever I wantb) create good velocity of money and get better capitalizedc) provide legitimate help to people who are struggling to keep their homeReally appreciate your questions.

Additionally, the velocity of your money can be better and it doesn't constrain you to one location.I am always looking for passive investors.

Market velocity/relevant compsWith regards to you,1.

You'll definitely want to do your research on leasing velocity in the area and then put together a lease-up schedule.

@Joshua Andrews This is a great strategy to achieve high velocity of capital and leverage the same dollar over and over again.

Plus...escape velocity...Episode 113 – Jay Papasan - Very practical slow and steady adviceEpisode 221 - Tim Shiner - his concept of equity build up and "shearing the sheep" shows some of the flexibility of real estate vs a 401k Last but not least, I strongly recommend all the tax advice given by my fellow CPAs.Amanda HanBrandon HallTax Reform Update – Brandon Hall and Amanda Han Linda Weygant GuidesUltimate Beginners Guide Forum StickiesBP Calculators or spreadsheets uploaded by membersMy Favorite Books I have to say all of the BP books…right?

From my understanding, taking this approach will not only let me build a portfolio of semi-passive (using a property manager) income generating properties but also save faster/acquire faster due to the increased velocity of savings as I use the cash flow from the acquisitions to assist with my rate of savings in order to be able to purchase more properties. 

My goal units are largely determined by the velocity still measured more by the consumption therory by the shot glass or by the mug!
