@Joe BellevilleTo build a successful multifamily property portfolio in Grand Rapids, set criteria for property type, location, and budget, build a team, analyze deals using the 1% rule, leverage house hacking, leverage local knowledge, prepare for tenant management, network, and focus on long-term goals.

By tapping into my network and refining my negotiation skills, I opened up a world of possibilities—opportunities to grow my portfolio faster and smarter.Off-market deals have become the backbone of my real estate strategy, allowing me to grow my portfolio faster with less stress.

I’m in the North Texas area, but if you’re looking to network and share experiences, feel free to reach out!

The goal is to expand my network with likeminded individuals in the same market.   

Is there any way to use the equity in my current property to put towards the new property, or am i basically stuck selling the duplex and rolling it into the larger 6 unit rental?

I'm here to network and learn. 

Larger families, remote workers, or investors could see it as ideal, especially if local schools or amenities like parks, dining, or entertainment are strong.

And south of that street is going to be newer, larger homes, a tier up. 76542 is actually very similar to that general rule as well.  

The larger ones are selling for 300 to 350 per square foot new construction depending on the lot.
