My goal while I'm working is to always report a break even or loss until I retire.

I am from Ohio and will be down in Atlanta from 1/9/24-1/12/24 and was hoping to network with some real estate investors for lunch or a coffee (or at a project you might be working on).

It will tell me projected occupancy for any day.

I’d love to hear about your goals and what you’re hoping to achieve here.

Hi Malcolm, With your strategy of holding multi-family properties or flipping, the key is running the numbers carefully to match your goals.

The goal is to slowly build a real estate portfolio and get to a point that I can eventually sale my business. 

You tell them what you are looking to do, and find out what their goals are, and start building up an investor database.

@Chinku Chinku how is paying the loan balance down going to help you reach your goals?

I'd recommend a HELOC for your situation, especially since there is already good equity in the project.
