I have yet to do a 1031 exchange or a cost segregation study (I'd like to see how this plays out long term when selling or doing a 1031 exchange into a different property) or expense business travel/mastermind/classes. 

Try talking to local banks who want to do business with you.

If you are looking to list the portfolio, the agent could do Loopnet and the MLS.If you are looking for a private sale I have a few investors that I could shop it to, as well some private groups that I am a member of.

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 

If I'm staying one night somewhere, a quick business trip or something into Denver to show clients homes, a hotel is my choice.

To look at it from the other side, as a private money lender in my local market I need someone to find me the deals.

If I wasn't able to get the cash together, using a private lender would've been a good option.

Can't imagine being in business with characters like this. 

Building a real estate portfolio might be attractive, but if you're crunched for time, perhaps you could do private lending in a SDIRA or get into syndications.

I started a property management company in 2017 and am now managing almost 800 doors and 6 construction crews.If I could do it all over again, I would have spent a little more time setting up business systems prior to jumping in.
