For example, the L10 meeting is something that every real estate business should be running weekly if they want to grow effectively.  

So I effectively have off 27 weeks/year. 

Negative interest rates can wake up the underutilized resources and be an effective tool to encourage investments, with less side effect, i.e. inflation, than west European countries. 

@Mike Lopez It takes a lot to customize Podio to be an effective CRM for a wholesale business.

@Justin Wawrzyniak the easiest and most effective way to manage your rentals like a pro is to start using a property management software that will automate most of your tasks. 

If you can get your living expenses down, utilize your VA loan effectively and get an income producing primary residence, it's hard to go wrong! 

I agree with @Nathaniel Hovsepian in that if you are cash flowing, a short-term drop in value has no effect if you are not forced to sell.

San Diego is a tough market for cash flow (initially) but adding units seems to be an effective way to overcome the rent ratio. 

@Ryan Bonheyo as most have mentioned, having multiple mortgages will not have a big effect on your scores.

That's how we originally started looking at investments but as we got into it more, we made a goal of how much cash flow we wanted long term and then made a spreadsheet to calculate how many months it would take to get there, changing different factors like down payment amounts, cash flow, etc. to see the effects on the timeline.
