Take your time to clarify your goals, and be ready to continually learn and network along the way.Remember, each step you take is a valuable experience that brings you closer to success.

Given the size of portfolio needed that presses a need for it to be mostly A class assets to mitigate operational weight, so it could push closer to $80m in acquisitions. 

Last summer, we finally decided we weren’t going to be able to afford to rehab the house in Indiana and we were tired of driving an hour every time the grass needed mowing.

MTR unlike long term rentals I think you get better rental candidates closer to move in.

It’s closer to 98%.  

How cool.Well, It's because I was seen as a player, a closer (meaning I close on deals I put under contract).I said, "I didn't know you owned a building" and to that he said "yes, it's the building with two - first floor retail spaces and 9 apartments on the corner".Dang, just what I love.

My two cents would be to wait to put it on the market until a lot closer to it actually being ready, if not once it's ready for move-in. 

After all expenses paid the profits are closer to $2k at $8k/month revenue. 5+ bedroom homes in mid-sized cities is my strategy. 

This will help keep the grass shorter and easier to spray.For teak, the first 5 years you have to stay on top of the grass and weeds, or the trees will get stunted or slowed. 

My rate will be closer to 9%.
