., funding.Two final thoughts, I'm all for being efficient, but you should think about the opportunity cost of tying up your own money in a single rehab, vs. using it to fund another simultaneous deal.

It turns out that nothing is more of a waste of time, energy, and money than this, money that could have been spent elsewhere.

Multifamily is top of mind since it provides a mix of efficiency and long-term growth.

This successful deal highlighted our ability to act quickly and capitalize on market-ready opportunities, delivering impressive results with speed and efficiency.

If you live in CA, NY, Boston etc - the financial difference is big enough.Investing in your home town is always best, you have the home-field advantage and you can buy, rehab and manage a lot more efficiently.

Prioritize properties with strong rental potential and set aside reserves to handle unexpected costs.Finally, familiarize yourself with tenant laws in your target market, especially in Portland, and consult a real estate-savvy CPA for tax efficiency and legal considerations.

I think its worth the time to and energy as it will pay off and if you end up with a bad deal it will serve as a learning experience. 

Given how important these features are for real estate investors, it’s frustrating that the integration isn’t as solid as it should be.I would appreciate hearing any insights from the community, mainly if someone has found a better solution for syncing AppFolio or handling portfolio loans more efficiently.

But the answer for everyone may differ.Here are the personal attributes I see in those able to achieve a higher than market ROI, enough higher to be able to “scale”.1- Knowledge of real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance2- Minimum 3 -5 years full time, or near full time experience directly related to real estate investing3- Ability to utilize technology for increased efficiency, capacity, and accuracy4- Excellent hired legal counsel and excellent hired marketing help5- Established method(s) of obtaining consistently high QUALITY deal flow6- Ability to manage and choose people who are NOT employees: Attorneys, Appraisers, Mortgage Brokers, Real Estate Brokers, Title Companies, Surveyors, Marketing Specialists, Accountants, Contractors, Consultants, Property Managers7- A VERIFIABLE track record of success8- Ability to identify, analyze, and negotiate a deal that can be “worked” for “enhanced” ROI9- Some type of competitive advantage; for example for me it’s my ability to analyze and identify mortgage loans that are actually less risky than all other lenders believe (on the investing in debt side), and on the real property side it’s my ability to analyze”pull the trigger” with LESS information than other investors need,  combined with the ability to pay cash, or raise significant capital almost instantly as well as being able to obtain loans at the lowest prime customer bank rate with no recourse or personal liability.  

I just don;t have the energy to pursue litigation.
