@Brian EastmanI agree that we have thoroughly enjoyed working with them and they were great to deal with.

It won't stay that way forever, so enjoy it while it lasts

I enjoy learning and growing as an entrepreneur, investor, business owner, and person.

I am probably going to join the course by Kai Andrews, it seems like it is in line with what I want tk do which is replace my work income w actuve real estate investing and then scale to 20 m's.Thats all for now, been a slow summer hope everyone is enjoying it🙂 you should look at larger deals than one single family. 12 months ago I was targeting single family home builds and designs and at this point I'm entitling and putting together 400k+ sq ft mixed use buildings worth more than 100 million.

I see a lot of new investors buy something turn key and end up either over paying or due to the market not being able to refinance for 5 years.If you have any questions feel free to reach out or email me I enjoy helping BP members.

As a SFR investor for over 15 years I have been wrestling with this question in the past, because it feels like you should upgrade to "bigger".I know for sure that I would not enjoy the ownership experience that comes with a small 4F, because in Milwaukee that typically also means lower income tenants. 

If you ever want to talk or go over some other options feel free to reach out or send me an email, I enjoy helping!

Enjoy these rates.
