The idea of acquiring a new property every few years to build a strong portfolio is something we’re seriously considering.I appreciate the insight, and it’s great to hear from someone with experience.

And if they did, what's an hourly rate worth depending on their experience? 

That's the first question as real estate is like another job and if you are upgrading properties it's like running a daycare. also what experience do you have?

My experience is those have been in short supply since beginning of time.
