Online platforms like Zillow, PropStream, and Auction.com are worth exploring, and don’t forget to check out local real estate groups for deals and partnerships.Since you’re in Racine, the Rental Property Association of Wisconsin and Milwaukee REIA are great resources for networking, finding contractors, and learning about funding opportunities.

As well as financial statements.

Prioritize your financial stability.

Paul - Firstly, congratulations on accumulating a strong (and diversified) financial foundation.

Many experienced mentors in this group can help guide you in the right direction.I highly recommend saving as much as possible and setting aside a hedge fund for financial security.

For example, if the loan officer asks you what your monthly payments are and your mother-in-law moved in with you because she is struggling financially and you are paying her car payment, don't share that you are paying her car payment every month.

Make sure you have financial reserves for repairs/maintenance/CapEx I would personally sell the SFRs - slow market right now, keep that in mind with your selling price expectations.

Most of us get paid a percentage of the rent so a reduction is not benefitting them financially.
