Hi Bigger Pockets,I'm new to the real estate investing game.

The game rules change and start making real sense starting around 65+ units, depending on the usaulal factors of course (location, demographics, jobs, companies, amenities, etc.). 

The CEO happens to be my friend and wants me to figure out how I can fit in the company so I just want to improve my chances and bring something of value to an already established team.Very Respectfully, Chanel A

Im looking at expanding into the BRRR game.

The game rules are more advantagous once you get over the four-plex mind barrier.

You can do a cash out refi to pull from the equity that you have established for the 14 years.

At a certain point, I can see the scales tipping to paying off the loans, but if you are in your growth phase, leverage is the name of the game.

@Chris Seveney  chris is suggesting a money partner and mostly these are done through syndications were your the sponsor but most investor want to know the sponsor has some skin in the game and is going to be there at the end or if the going gets tough.

Im new at the REI game but i feel it could possibly turn out to be a good investment with everyone moving out to the buroughs.

What type of property would be best:I'd say start small only because you are still young, so perhaps intern with a really awesome wholesaler in your area or find one that is exceptional somewhere in the country and be their virtual assistant (scrubbing their lists or doing online marketing for them] What banks would be best to get a loan from should I need one:I won't worry about the banks just yet, focus on building your foundations and in the process, you'll get a good lender while on the journey to successBusiness and real estate books/ebooks I should read:MUST buy a hard copy of Rich Dad Poor Dad & buy the CashFlow board game [find a friend of yours who likes a challenge and play the CashFlow game with them-they might be a potential partner in your business in the nearest future] Pitfalls/rookie mistakes beginners make:Make a ton of mistakes!
