The caveat to that, is that you have to choose the right partner, or you will butt heads, have trust issues, and end up spinning in place and making no real progress.My partner in REI is someone who is strong in the skills that I am not.

I have been learning, researching, purchasing tools, networking etc but I feel like my heads been spinning on where to get started.

If you could find two flip-and-hold properties a year that met even a 90% cash-out refinance metric, you could build a portfolio of a dozen rentals before you even had to think about where to access more capital.That might be a slower strategy than you hope for, but if you did it that way, you'd definitely have a stable, productive portfolio that would spin off a fair amount of cash-flow.

That said, when anybody overloads themselves, they typically are going to spin their wheels and not go anywhere.

You also can watch the meter to see if it spins when all fixtures are not in use.
