Quote from @Matt McNabb: I'm a solid $400k/yr job in NYC and have $250k to begin investing as my first step into building a portfolio, although I don't have time to be a landlord so I have to account for management fees.  

Thank you @Jimmy Lieu, I totally agree Columbus is a fantastic market, and that's why we grew our portfolio there and are still growing it!

You have to add to your investments all the time to make your investment portfolio grow. 

Have you leveraged lines of credit, private lenders, portfolio loans, or other creative financing options?

How can I put them all into one portfolio and just keep adding to them as we obtain more? 

It’s exciting that you’re taking the leap from brokering deals to building your portfolio.

Kyle  My father-in-law did this by creating a portfolio that is primarily debt-free single-family rentals in the city he lives in.

First off, congrats on being in a position to scale your real estate portfolio.

I both personally invest in real estate and help others gets started/expand their portfolios in various Midwest/midsouth markets.What I do with my kids: My wife and I have 2 of our rentals that are on the same street, with a home in between them.

We’re actively working toward building a real estate portfolio that will generate passive income and create financial security for our future.
