This is a key strategy to growing your real estate portfolio at a reasonable fast pace because you can recycle your down payment funds into the next project faster.Hope this helps.

The goal is 5 properties in 5 years (buy and hold for rentals) so we are in a good pace to get there in the next 4.5 CheersEdison

Marketing is on my agenda for today and I'm not sure where to start..  

The time it took to buy 5 houses was a decent pace.  

Come out to oops alley tomorrow night in Pace and there will be several local guys to discuss with.

Now i'm married, have three kids and a wife that want me to retire.I'm usually the jack-of-all-trades and Do-it-all-by-myself guy, but in order to advance at a more rapid pace, it helps to have a support group. 

The tenants, who are paying the ever increasing rents, incomes are not rising at the same pace so at the very least that is a concern.

The employment sector, while not as robust as it once was, has been creating jobs at a steady pace.

My goal is to have 1000 units in the next 5 years so if I can keep this pace, find all the money I will ever need; I believe I can do it.David 

LOLI don't know much about market cycles (I need to learn) but I feel that something like RE can't keep increasing in prices at current rates while the rest of the economy is going at a slower pace.
