Quote from @Evans Debeza: Hi All, I am new to real estate investing and am looking for ways to help help me expand my knowledge and experience in the business as I look to grow my portfolio (currently have two properties, one ground-up, one flip & rent, both totaling 5 rental units).

The delay in closing cost me 10's of thousands of dollars and could have easily been avoided. 

I'm not too familiar with Section 8 in Clevland, but if you're ever looking to expand over to PA/Pittsburgh area feel free to reach out!

@Nubia Silva seems like relatively cheap repairs so I would advise to not make an insurance claim if you intend to expand your rental portfolio.

But I could have easily been going through what you are by jumping in and believing shady people who just want to make a buck off me.

I am a build to rent investor expanding my business into the south Florida market.  

You can easily do this on a spreadsheet, and it will take less time to track than finding and learning new software.

In addition to all the points above - continue to educate yourself and surround yourself with those doing it at the levels that you want to get at.I don't know what your family business does, but if there is a way, find creative, legal and non-invasive ways to leverage that to build connections and expand your sphere of influence. 

Over the years we've produced split tests that have shown that larger CTAs tend to convert better than smaller ones, Jerryll has stepped into this and really expanded the size of CTAs even more. 

We’ve since acquired another rental and are looking to expand our portfolio.
