My ultimate goal is to build a portfolio of cash-flowing properties to achieve financial freedom.I’m currently seeking mentors who can guide me through this journey and help me avoid common pitfalls.

Quote from @Jackson Harris: Hey Kai'ler for our STR portfolio and what our investors do is start getting it listed on Facebook/Zillow rental/Furnish Finder/etc now as a LTR for that time period you're talking about.

On average the entire portfolio keeps doubling every 7yrs.

I moved to Ohio and now work as an agent and a new investor in the Cleveland market.Single families are in the 90-120k price range, and duplexes are in the 120-180k price range.Many out-of-state investors have grown their portfolios in Cleveland using the BRRR strategy.

Quote from @Jonathan Small: what ball park number coet would you put on each rental they add to a portfolio? 

This is why for an investor who get's to a certain portfolio size where they could just hire someone directly and take on yet another role (employer), there is still value in a PM via the shield a licensed PM provides. 

I have been able to take my real estate portfolio to a level in which i really didn't think possible and educate myself on so many things not only in real estate but in creating wealth throughout the power of networking with others that have experience and proven track records in other types of businesses.

I am investor myself, but I’m now diving deeper as an investor friendly real estate agent helping others build their portfolios.

The idea of acquiring a new property every few years to build a strong portfolio is something we’re seriously considering.I appreciate the insight, and it’s great to hear from someone with experience.

For scaling your portfolio, consider house hacking another multi-family property to minimize living expenses while building equity.
