Currently, I live in Hawaii, house hacking my own property, and am looking to expand into out-of-state long-term rentals.My goals now are to master the art of wholesaling, continue raising private money, and build a strong portfolio of long-term rentals.

If you have commercial experience and are an excellent asset manager (managing the property manager, driving revenue, reducing expenses,  managing GCs)You wont just provide value to a sponsorYou will be highly sought-after after by sponsorship groups.The ones worth their salt know how incredibly valuable a strong asset manager is (and how much work it takes)So if you can bring that skillset, I have a feeling it won't take long for you to find a sponsorship team. 

I wish people could pause and listen to how foolish they sound sometimes when they have strong opinions about how somethings are so wrong on the one hand, but then on the other hand, they do the same thing only in a slightly different way.

It’s great that you’re stepping into real estate with such a strong background in renovations and custom home building—that’s a huge asset.

If you'll be cash flowing strong, there might be some room there to pul some money out and use it for a downpayment for another house.  

In the future I strongly suggest a similar pricing strategy where you list lower than what the comps come in at.

Some lenders may still offer 10% down, but they might require strong compensating factors such as excellent credit, higher reserves, or a low debt-to-income (DTI) ratio.The requirement for 12 months of reserves is common with jumbo loans right now, especially in Southern California, where property values are high.2.

If you or someone you know is active in this space, I’d love to connect and discuss how we might collaborate on upcoming opportunities.Feel free to reach out directly via DM and I look forward to learning more about the local market and building strong partnerships!

I genuinely think Phoenix offers a strong potential for ROI given all the growth.

Bali, for example, is seeing strong demand in areas like Kedungu, Tabanan, which is rapidly developing and located just 15 minutes from Canggu—making it a hot spot for investment.That said, it’s also wise to diversify your strategy.
