I am currently working with a very capable person who was inexperienced when she first started managing my first duplex, but has grown very capable now that we have just closed on the 4th property.

Looking at the trends of rents, Houston has not increased at near the same rate as many other markets around the country, but we still have grown more than some.

Some day when you've grown your REI business you may need PM services.  

We've grown that meetup to over 1,000 members, in part thanks to great BP members who appeared virtually as guests:@Brandon Turner@Joshua Dorkin@Ben Leybovich@Engelo Rumora@Matt Faircloth@Mark Shaffar@Ali Boone@Jacob BlackettBP also lead to my meeting investing partners in Jacksonville, Florida, and I was able to make my first investment while living in Seoul, Korea.

My husband and I are looking to get back into this now that the kids are grown.

Had I grown too quickly I would not have been prepared to deal with that experience and I likely would have exited the game.2.

Do not any more-we keep what we buy.It's a fairly easy system for me.We have grown to around 50 single family homes and 40+ multifamiliy units.I was 43 and debt free when I bought my first.

however, their cash flow has grown significantly each and every year that I have owned them since the rents have increased while other expenses have not to the same degree.

Congrats young man . . . at 31 you're all grown up now!

I look for boarded up windows & doors, over grown yards, properties that just looks like nobody cares about you can also look for the worst house  in the best neighborhood.
