As the cleaning company continues to grow, I am looking to invest in real estate to create more passive income. 

I respect the experience here and am eager to contribute as I grow.

The current portfolio doesn't require much management, but I feel there is opportunity to grow the portfolio moving forwards. 

Henry on the Teak wood and lumber aspect.. what is the growing cycle for the hardwoods to become merch ? 

Wishing you luck as you learn and grow in this industry!

If your goal is to grow faster, buying rent ready properties isn't the usual way to do that if you have limited funds to start with.

There are a lot of good meetups for real estate investors in the area that would be good to grow your network and learn from others that are and have been in your shoes as a new investor, message me and I can share on some specific monthly meetups.Also sharing some multifamily data, this is Boston proper so it has an interesting trend compared to the rest of Massachusetts.

Current goal is focused on growing a portfolio and reinvesting cash flows.

At that point you will be using the cash from appreciation/equity instead of your funds.Each time pulling out the intial capital and enough to put down on another property growing your REI protfolio.
