I am honestly not to keen on the idea of financing to much, I would prefer to grow slower with less risk but if you feel differently please let me know.

Additionally, I am keenly interested in exploring both in-state and out-of-state property opportunities.

@Dan Scarborough  nice outline.. although if your doing a sale in that manner you will have to pay our forester up front for the cruise.. and out our way our growing cycles are more like 60 to 90 years and longer.. replant is mandatory in our area unless your say planting a vineyard or something.. you cant just clear cut and leave it .ERGO there is more timber than there ever has been.. and more coming on line from all the replanting in the 60s and 70s.. in our market if a forester is engaged to set up a sale.. he or she will usually only market to the normal sources IE log buyers and some loggers that buy timber stands ( like I used to do).. public can find a few of them.. but if its a big mature stand competition from a mill is pretty keen.

@Burr GuyIf you are keen on buying a home now, there are ways to make sure that you get a good deal.

My wife isn't super keen on the idea of living with a bunch of seniors and fixing all of their meals, and I think we could make the BRRRR work.

I didn't really mind, but in my context (a college) some folks are not as keen on free market capitalism in general....With just one mid-level condo housing a professional at market rates--someone called me a "slum lord" and another said I was "a capitalist" (the latter of which I think they meant as derogatory--but I kinda appreciated or preferred to being called socialist or communist). 

I know folks use 5% for LTR - keen to know whats happening with this new market?

First things first, check out what's buzzing in the local scene – target areas where people are keen on rentals and there's potential for growth.

Taking into account my monthly mortgages, which total around $2,300, I'm in a solid cash flow position.Now, as I look to the future, I am keen on expanding my real estate portfolio further and streamlining my growth.
