I would recommend reaching out to Jillian and discussing your goals with her and Gene.

@Gene MarcusWhat type of loan is it?

Hi Gene,Did you buy the second as a first time home buyer or as a commercial property?

E.g. if your goal is to own 1,000 doors then you may want to consider multifamily, if you goal is to be entirely passive then you might consider being a LP in a syndicate, if your goal is to self manage then you will likely buy close to home, etc.Focus on one strategy, go deep, build relationships and dominate that space.

Either self-manage like many on here do, or hire an inexpensive offshore PM who works US hours & speaks eloquent English (that’s what I do). Mine

I live right next to Lithia (in the Valrico area) and have a new listing coming up in Fishhawk (the dominant neighborhood in Lithia).

@Kenneth Garrett, @Matthew Irish-Jones @Roland Jerez @Zack Howard @David Gates @Kenneth Garrett @William Nelson @Josh Kredit-Phelps @Patrick Menefee @Gene Neeley III,@Kateesha Tearry and @Mark JohnsonI truly appreciate all of you for taking the time to reach out to me and share some of that wisdom you all have obtained over the years.
