Now, I’m looking to connect with like-minded investors, builders, and real estate professionals to share experiences and learn from others.I’d love to hear from those of you who have experience scaling investment portfolios—what’s one lesson you wish you had learned earlier in your journey?

Quote from @Manuel Moreno: Hey Bigger Pockets community,My family has been in commercial real estate development for years, and one recurring pain point we’ve constantly dealt with is unexpected site costs. 

Yes, either that or a multi-family next (leaning towards the MF, if I can find a good one).

Given the fact that if  there is a gain a future year the prior year loss can offset it, it seems that one would want to file the loss so they can offset that gain.

You have one STR, and you want someone to bring all of the money for your second?

We have one property in a local market but are looking to expand into markets that have more promising outlooks (Population growth, jobs, etc)

In some cases, after running the numbers, I’ve even faced potential negative returns, causing me to miss out on promising deals here in South Florida.That brings me to my question: I currently own two homes—one is my primary residence, and the other is a rental property.

The biggest mistake I see out of state investors make is relying on others too much for direction and guidance instead of doing their own due diligence and building their own team that they actually meet and interviewRelying on one person who alleges that they have a 'team' built already that you can use as well can be a costly mistake.

is this an all-in-one loan? 

Hi BP Members,I shortlisted one RE property with $350K purchase price and with good long term tenant income ($4400 PM current).
