But regardless, you'll want somebody with at least a dozen deals under their belt.

I have 5 flips under my belt and am getting 8.5% at 90% leverage.

A lot of lenders have tightened their belts during Covid. 

@Tim Lee not yet, but I’m thinking we’ll go that way once we get a few doors under our belts.

I did not pop out of my momma with my tool belt on.SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization.It is the art of ranking a website #1 on Google so people that search for specific phrases will see your website on Google ideally at the top so they click on your website.Keep in mind, SEO done yourself is indeed free, but it is hard work.

Hoping to have a few more doors under my belt in the next few years and a couple of workers as my business grows so I can delegate responsibilities and work less with the hands.

You have 3 properties and 22 units under your belt.

Appreciation: the market values are decreasing in the places where there is surplus, in some places people may not even want to sell in this market, hence the prices in those areas will continue to be lower by little. thinking like investor: you cannot replace your job income with 1 property, probably you need more under your belt, but to be in that position 3-5-8 years down the line you will need to take these properties and rent them out. so as a matter of time all these 4-8 properties will cease their mortgage and then start cash flowing upto your income levels. this is not just an incentive to start investing, but think of long term big picture. i am in the same boat as yours.

Try other social media sites too.The bottom line, and I say this as a former Realtor, is that if you look at any handful of full time agents with a few years under their belt, there's not a dime's worth of difference between them.Nobody, regardless of what their brokers tell them, has anything truly unique. 

Just make sure you have adequate coverage through your own insurance company.One of ours already has about 10 weeks booked off-platform next year, mostly from repeat guests, so vetting guests is not an issue...I suspect as you get a few years under your belt, you will have enough repeats to ensure a large number of off-platform guests.
