@Sean Gallagher not a sales pitch, but this is what we provide for investors in Metro Detroit:)Understand that if you hire the latest & greatest PMC, many grow using poorly trained VA's. - Your portfolio will suffer:(You want a PMC that has great systems in place, including a great portal where you can keep tabs on eveything.You will also need to manage your PMC on a regular basis.

I am looking for a solid real estate agent and eventually will need a home inspector, possible property manager/etc. in regards to the process.I have a few family friends which I am blessed to have mentored me the past few years in this field and I am determined/diligent to learn and grow. 

It's going to offer Strong economic growth, Appreciation (especially in DFW), Tax advantages (no state income tax), and a Growing population, including infrastructure and amenities. 

I wonder if people become experienced in real estate - unless they stop growing.

I built my team through networking on places like BP forums and FB groups.I have since moved to Indianapolis from the west coast to continue to grow my portfolio here and have expanded my business to include support for other OOS investors who need the same support I did when I was remote.

And yet the "problem" persists and grows........ 

McKinney and Princeton have been growing a lot and it is a good place to invest, but it is always related to what you are looking to achieve in a rental investment, appreciation or cash flow.At this time that area does not offer a big cash flow and due to the amount of development going on there, rental demand has declined a bit.In any case you have to make an analysis case by case.

Look for safe accounts that pay good interest or dividends to grow your security.

This way, you’re still growing your portfolio without overextending.Looking forward to hearing more about your journey.

If your goal is to grow faster, buying rent ready properties isn't the usual way to do that if you have limited funds to start with.
