Basically, you can teach anyone to do a decent job, but it takes someone with good character traits and innate capabilities to go above and beyond to help you and the company thrive.What do you think is helping your real estate investing business or maybe another business you have to grow and make the transition from Good To Great?

I decided to take my business out of state and have been able to grow it much faster out of state with amazing cash flow. 

I have a growing portfolio of rentals but also help other investors source and manage investment properties.

(college/jobs/hospital/military base/growing area)Is the property within 10 minutes of important centers?

We will also be managing a family property and looking to grow our portoflio over the next decade.Curious as to peoples thoughts on when the right time to set something up will be.Also interested in how an LLC can shelter us from taxes in other investments. 

Our plan is to move forward initially with buying single family homes in the Chicagoland area, and then use the BRRRR method to raise the equity in them so that we can grow larger and larger by buying properties with the increased equity seen after each renovation.

One noise complaint from a neighbor and you can lose the income.I feel the same about air bnb, make sure you are ok with the rental by itself as a long term rental, in case any income you get from an adu or air bnb goes away with a city ordinance.Sounds like a marginal deal without, and a nice kicker for upside if you include it.We would probably do the deal if it was currently allowed by the city, especially if it was in a growing area metro area

Looking at those factors, I felt more comfortable leaving my cash in the stock market- growing it slowly until i found a deal that would cash flow better.I finally decided to look out of state.

@Mark Ainley,NARPM is a great organization for property managers who want to learn, grow, and build relationships! 

Why not refinance this place and use the money to purchase other properties and grow your portfolio instead of selling?
