I'd love to hear specific examples or success stories! 

@Joe BellevilleTo build a successful multifamily property portfolio in Grand Rapids, set criteria for property type, location, and budget, build a team, analyze deals using the 1% rule, leverage house hacking, leverage local knowledge, prepare for tenant management, network, and focus on long-term goals.

I actually help run the sales team at Backflip!

BiggerPockets team does it again! 

Rent control laws are market specific.

this is a specific need you have and maybe there are attorneys here on BP in NY that can help, but having worked with jurisdictions before - with it being early december - these officials do not move very quickly so hopes of closing before year end could be complicated.

Not every lot will allow you to STR even though sevier county and the city propers do have specific zoning that allows it so you don't have to worry about them ever rescinding that right. 

Glad to hear you’ve got the property fully occupied now and a better management team in place.

1. coaching- all of the "coaches" were newbies themselves with about 1 year of experience and about 1 deal under their belts and they always disappear after 2-3 months and get replaced with new "coaches".2. networking- they have a FB group, populated primarily by other newbies. go there to answer questions, and it's likely you'll get other newbies saying "good question". there are lots of newbies hoping to get into a deal, but who wants to put together a team where every single person is brand new with no experience?
