Keep on the slow but consistent march and you'll get there!!

I get requests about tax return consistently.

@Jeff Keller I am looking out of state...places like Blue Island, Illinois and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

My thoughts are consistent with some of yours....  

Any trouble finding good, long term tenants consistently? 

I faced this same decision twice in the past 6 months, kept both and did the BRRRR with them.  3 main reasons I did this 1) I want to build cash flow and both were in good locations 2) I don't have a consistent enough deal flow to feel confident I can put the money right back to work 3) I didn't need the money from the sales to fund the next deal.I regret having sold every piece of real estate I've ever sold (past primary homes).

Also, I'm looking for good contractors/ mentors/ private money lenders in Long Island, New York.

Forget the South Island and small towns.

I currently live in Hawaii on the Island of Kauai.

Love to hear from some Rhode Island investors if possible.Regarding the Fannie Mae Homestyle Loan - for investors, it only works on SFR's, fix & flips.
