I feel a loss of direction and that makes it really hard for me to focus and build.Do we keep at building a portfolio of small multi family (very abundant in my market, very rare to find anything above a triplex for sale), with plans of selling the portfolio and 1031'ing into larger properties? 

Keen to connect with any overseas investors. I am based in New Zealand and own 4 properties here, but keen to explore investing in the US. 

Are they all from smaller builders or one of the larger reginal builders? 

Networking plays a crucial role in this industry and remember to keep learning continuously.

A mortgage lender can help determine if refinancing or tapping into equity might allow you to acquire additional properties.Consider a 1031 Exchange: If you're open to selling a current property, a 1031 exchange can defer capital gains taxes while enabling you to upgrade to a larger or more profitable asset.

Not sure if this appeals to youJoint Ventures: Partnering with a larger hospitality group or another investor might not only bring in funding but also expertise and industry connections. 40% of a deal is better than no deal.

Finally, network with other investors and start small to gain experience.

I’ve had more success filling vacant units by word of mouth/ networking with other agents in my market recently than I have through the typical advertising methods.

I am new and I am checking in to see who is local to Albuquerque or in New Mexico and wants to meet up for coffee to talk about investing and goals! Lets go! 

Feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications if it's a larger organization.2.
