In addition to raising capital, I assisted with optimizing processes, systems, team collaboration, and technical strategy.

And of course, I also get to see the operations side of the business (good, bad, and ugly), which has helped keep my toxic optimism in check and know what truly good/bad deals look like. 

I might have been lucky and living in a optimal market.  

@Julie McCoy @Richard Lee & everyone else: curious your opinion about optimal home size (# bedrooms, # bathrooms, sq ft, etc) to purchase in East Tennessee (Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevier County, etc)

Instead of growing your portfolio, start to think about how to optimize your portfolio. 

It's the quality of your day-to-day income and expense tracking that will enable any CPA to optimize your tax returns.

, Realtors know that with many things in life you have to be a "deal maker," not just a "consumer," if you want the optimal outcomes. 

The world of multifamily investing is both challenging and rewarding, and I'm excited to immerse myself in this new chapter of my real estate journey.Currently, I'm working on optimizing the cap rates for three duplexes.

I guess that is the optimal way to do things, but I'm still curious to know how many people put this in to practice. 

I'm looking to optimize more for CAC vs. appreciation for the first few pieces in the portfolio, interested in some of the other peoples strategies in the area.
