Collecting rent rolls, walking properties, learning who's doing the best in our sector/niche and how they're doing it, finding partners, all of these things I'm fairly good at, as I've been doing this for my recruiting agency for the past 3 years.

Still can be very beneficial for a new investor but personally I think not as good as a service as they had with their exclusive listings where they had inspections already done, rent rolls available, and you can complete the entire offer/acceptance via their platform rather than being handed off to an agent. 

I think I was fortunate to find a roll outside of real estate to diversify my income across two different sectors of the economy.

I'm looking at rolling over ~350k into the replacement property. 

My goal is to try and get a multifamily property a month or two after starting my job once I have the paychecks rolling in, to show my financial advisor.

Then just roll into your next one. 

I was able to rent the garage to a seasoned electrician running his business through there only coming in and out to stock his truck once per day.I hope to be able to convert the second floor into an ADU as soon as Feb 2nd rolls around.
