.- Institutional Capital & Private Equity: By moving from hard money to institutional financing, you can secure larger credit lines with better terms.

The reason I say this is that no matter what your remodel if you are doing a lot of the work yourself (way to max out equity growth) then maybe look for an even larger remodel than you had thought about? 

If mass deportations were to actually happen, it could slightly ease demand, mainly in larger cities, but probably not enough to change rent rates.

Your real estate happens to be a % of the larger piece. 

The cash flow is a bit sub par on this one and I anticipate some larger expenditures coming my way in a year or two so I'm contemplating this as an option.

While I’ve seen QuickBooks mentioned in forums, it tends to be more expensive and seems better suited for larger portfolios.

Use that as a downpayment on the new larger asset.

Lessons Learned: I should have transitioned to larger commercial deals sooner.

Those with little to no experience should have even larger amounts of reserves in place before they purchase real estate. 

These can provide good cash flow and are easier to manage than larger commercial properties, especially when you're just starting out.Also, when I was starting, I found local meetups super helpful.
