I was a Platinum agent in NJ in 2024 so just trying to expand on that with lead flow but I am very skeptical of the lead generation through BP and have been for years frankly.

@Kareem Hammad With that amount of a down payment, I'd concur with @Julia Lyrberg suggestion about house hacking and expand from there. 

That level of diligence isn't possible with human effort or even traditional data processing techniques.I would like to expand to investors in the future but this technology is very new. got it also commerical Brokers I suspect would be a target for you.. 

Right now, I’m focused on building a strong foundation in real estate by expanding my network and learning strategies for sustainable growth.

Current Tenants- would some want to expand into units next to them, knocking down wall, etc.7. 

If you're open to expanding your search, Columbus OH also has positive cash flowing deals at an affordable price point - $120k-$180k. 

But as we are looking to add more employees to our team and expand our doors I'm looking into the best managing systems.

I would also recommend the RPOA meetings here in Grand Rapids.

Nice try, but this time does not count.In order to meet 750 hours, your wife will need one of the below:- do something else real estate related, like wholesaling or realtor- actively work on expanding your rental portfolio - have an extensive DIY rehab, like a month-long full-time rehab (and then she might need another kind of rehab)- a calamity such as multiple properties damaged in a storm where she will have to deal with insurers and contractors- something else out of the ordinaryAgain - if all you have is 9 single-family properties with stable tenants and typical occasional maintenance - you don't have enough work to collect 750 hours.

A smaller valuation would mean less out of pocket to buy out your siblings and lower taxes, but it would also mean the lot rent is a much higher % of valuation.I can almost guarantee you can find properties in Grand Rapids that cashflow because I've found them all over the Midwest.
