Hi Jaycee, Yes I do plan on continuing to build my portfolio.

You might hire a property manager, use a co-hosting service, or build your own team (like I did!).

The time has come for me to start investing in real estate and before doing so i'm looking to build a strong and dedicated team of partners: agents, lenders, contractors and property managers mainly in the Cleveland area (but also open to markets within a 2-3 hr drive away) that already possess an excellent track record in their line of work and that value long term collaboration.

Yes I understand that possibility, that's why I try to build relationships with the builders that I work with so they know that I'm trying to get them a good deal and I know that I can trust them with any potential contracts.

Quote from @Brian Dela Cruz: Data entry clerks - likely to miss deductions, overlook credits, miss carryforwards, make mistakes on tax law limitationsCPA - get it right, reduces errors, and helps you in building your wealth through tax savingsWhat are your thoughts?

Our goal is to be able to use either some type of software or spreadsheets to continue to build off of and help dial in our costs as we begin to hire more contractors for our team.

Once you build it correctly, you can offer it to other investors as a service.

What I love most about what I do is building genuine connections with people—whether it’s homeowners, investors, or fellow professionals.

After that you want to build the relationship.

I will be using this as a building block on how I manage properties in the future so its important to me to have a basis to start from.
