I use some mixed strategies to go on and off market, but I'm just generally curious what others are doing and finding that works for them?

Another benefit is it is much easier to diversify into multiple markets, asset classes and operators.Just wanted to share an alternative - often active investing is the way to go, but it really depends on the person and it is important to know that there are passive ways to accomplish your financial goals.Good luck!

Way to go Seth!

I should have listened to my intuition but I gave it a try thinking it was just a learning curve, but what I'm learning is it leaves a lot to be desired.

My budget will be around $200k but I’m meeting with a lender on Tuesday to go over all of my options.

Can I walk into offices and leave a flyer for everyone in the office to read and set up zoom meetings with those people to go over the details further? 

Let's look at your example of a roofer, assuming he owns the company.He has to pay for employees- they still get paid, even if they are not giving 100% effort.He has to pay his workers to go back for warranty work - effectively paying them to do the same job twice.He has to pay for equipment, even when it's not being used 100% of the time.- but the company he bought it from still gets paid.He has to pay for advertising, whether it works or not.- but the advertising company still gets paid.He has to pay for accounting services, payroll services, tax services, legal services, etc.- they all get paid whether he makes money or not.So, what's your point?

Is it better to have a job or business that is doing well, then funnel the money into larger projects, if my desire is to be one of the main GP for like 33-100 unit multifamily projects?
