I understand those are not very well formulated questions, but I do greatly appreciate any and all advice you can share.Thanks in advance!!

None of the books I read up to that point gave me as much information as this book had about landlording.As far as going from one property to two properties to a dozen properties, it's tough to say there but I would say Fixer Jay did a nice job explaining how he formulated his strategy even if it is still glossing over the small details.

The remainder appears to be more formulated from the sounds of it (not that a formula is the end-all be-all). 

Keep reading here at BP and formulate an idea for a strategy. 

I have been really putting my nose to the grindstone to formulate a business plan, as well as my long term investing strategy.

I find that if a significant portion of your marketing is geared online then twitter is a good supplement and can be great as some people have taken full blown advantage of it and that's where a lot of the hype comes from.On the other hand if you don't have sites and an internet presence to point people to, then it loses its effectiveness.So bottom line if you are formulating an online marketing campaign then it is certainly worth seeing if you can incorporate it into your strategy.

The issue lies in the fact that REI's (real estate investors) tend to claim and write off a lot when it comes to tax time so after they purchase a property they came their rental in a manner which actually makes DTI worst often times.A well formulated loan approval and mortgage plan can take a lot of risk out of investing especially if you're using BRRR - buy-renovate-refi-repeat with hard money, private money, are trying to cash out to obtain your seed capital again, and or are looking to ensure a smooth exit strategy.I always recommend multiple exit strategies to mitigate investor/borrower risk.Hope that helps.

Investment Goals:In full disclosure I am still formulating these and this week have started putting pen to paper. 

im new to bigger pockets and trying to formulate a team to help me begin my real estate rental "career", in single family housing, in central Connecticut!  

That's why I'm here, to discuss this and formulate an informed opinion on the matter.
