Buying a portfolio might lead you to making decisions you don't have the experience and foresight to make well.

The leads I'm getting for potential tenants are not the best.

For instance, many tribal lands are exempt from state and local property taxes, which can obviously lead to significant savings.

While I do maintain a relatively modest percentage of my assets in money market instruments, corporate debt funds, and high dividend stocks, I remain most comfortable with the investments I specialize in and know best.  

so, you're maxing out debt service which makes it tougher to cash flow.with that said, no matter the purchase strategy, you should always make sure you're using actual numbers, and not random assumptions.for example - some people will throw out '10% for capex.' 

This is primarily due to two key factors: low inventory (leading to tight margins) and high interest rates.

I am looking for any recommendations on how to properly scale this idea over the first few years conservatively and not wanting to over use leverage and debt by starting small in duplex and being open to triple/quadplex in the future if the right opportunity presents itself.

First, the stairs leading down to it would likely need to be replaced.

I’m interested in connecting with investors who want to explore remote investment opportunities (internationally), especially in Europe, and specifically in the Netherlands.I firmly believe that collaboration and the exchange of experiences can lead to great results for everyone.

Plus if you’re investing in debt tied to Crypto or Broadway shows.
