A great way to start is by attending RE events and joining a local investors association.

G'Day Luka,I'm not a fan of out of state BRRRR.It's hard enough for us on the ground to get rehabs done on time and on budget and I don't even want to think how difficult, expensive and time consuming it would be for out of state investors.And then include a high LTV and that can be a portfolio killer IMO.Hat's off to you mate for grabbing the bull and jumping in.You live, you make mistakes, you learn and you grow.Such is life.Building a large portfolio is an absolute must when investing in sub $100,000 properties in Ohio.I "killed" my business by not wanting to sell to investors that are using leverage.Our sales volume could increase by 70-80% but it is what it is.I just don't believe in it or want the hassle associated with it lolReason is mostly two fold:1) Not in the mood to deal with lenders for 2 months and hope the deal will go through.2) I don't believe that investors should use high LTV when building the foundation of their portfolio.My advice to you:1) Pay them off as quickly as you can.2) Build a larger portfolio.The investors that $#@% the most on my name are the ones that buy 1 or 2 properties and expect miracles.As you said, 1 furnace goes out or a sewer line needs repaired and bye bye cashflow for 2 years.We get blamed although we can't predict to fix certain things and there are just many unknowns with all investments.Our happiest investors are the ones that own 6-7 or even 10+ properties and all with cash and no leverage.They aren't worried about turns or tenant issues that occur on 1 or 2 properties as it's just the nature of the beast.Returns vary but across the board over the last 10 years I have seen 6-10% net ROI's year after year.Building a large portfolio is a must to minimize risk and to get the best possible long term ROI.Thanks 

A common misconception is that real estate properties under $1M have a smaller tax basis and therefore do not benefit from a cost segregation study due to the associated fees.

In 2019 i was at ideal occupancy but none of my STRs are at ideal occupancy today.Do what you want with regard to the number of OTAs, but i plan to never be associated with a single OTA.  

Leverage magnifies return. 3) The effort involved in adding an ADU is comparable or larger than a rehab associated with a BRRRR.

"Head right on back to the back of the room and my associates will get you signed up today!"   

Do you have an associate I could speak with further.  

@Paola Astrid Find the local NARPM (national association of residential property managers) chapter's website and you'll find a list of each professional PM. 

I have a close associate with a large project there and the local banks have turned off the spick-et on funding his developments and these are very large multi thousand acre deals.

MBA is the Mortgage Banker Association if you are not familiar.
