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.

I have a lot of personal experience with BRRRR—both from building my own rental portfolio here in Memphis, TN and from helping both local and out-of-state investors successfully scale their portfolios using this strategy.One of the biggest advantages I’ve been able to offer my clients is structuring deals with hard money lenders in a way that allows them to acquire properties with less than $10,000 out of pocket in most cases which results them in massive cash on cash returns!

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

I knew this 4 years ago and decided to build my real estate portfolio to get enough know how to finally get involved.

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.  

Currently most investors Fannie/Freddie, FHA , VA, USDA and most portfolio notes allow up to 6% in RE agent commissions.

Here are a few innovative strategies that have been game-changers for my portfolio:- Co-Living Spaces: With affordability concerns rising, co-living setups are attracting young professionals and students.

Many of these properties are undervalued and can provide great returns once you establish solid tenants.I'd be happy to guide you through your options, whether you're interested in house hacking or building an investment portfolio. 

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

I’m local to SATX and in the process of expanding portfolio.
