I am blessed, to have a partner/husband that was a GC for many years gave it up to work as a Project Manager for a start up had a great few years and that is now winding down.

As Mindy stated we have an Erie meetup which will start up again in January.

Understanding REI, the velocity of money, leverage, and frequency of trade in a given area is one of the best ways to scale, grow, build cash flow, and create the ability to enter in those quality markets at scale as well.For example, if you had $30k and can only add another 20K to 30K at best per year for start-up capital, it would would take those 3 to 5 years to be able to possibly break into quality areas.

@Andy welcome to BP you are going down the correct path my friend what I would suggest is that you go to at least 1 meetup a week and befriend an investor you can find the real deal makers in the back with grey hair start up a simple conversation and explain to them your goals and what you want to do help make them more successful and in turn you unlock the door to FREE Knowledge just keep at and be persistent man you will someone because older investors always like helping younger ones.

I don’t yet have any income through the LLC, just the start up expenses in 2019.

You think that startup fee has been worth it since you started?

Let me know if they start up again.Navy Federal 80% LTV Norway Savings Bank, MaineOmaha MortgageOregonians CU - ORPenFed - PAUSED. 

Assuming that's feasible and ends up being the case, that would still allow Christmas and New Year's to be the official startup of the tourism industry in this area again.

Are these startup fees unavoidable?

This typically covers us on a monthly basis for maintenance (excluding rehabs we opt into, or startup fixes a property needs when we first buy it).Randy
