Overall behind in the process by about a year - just catching up now & could use some (paid) advice on how best to navigate the complications -Probably an hour or two's consulting, at the most.

I own two rentals in Phenix City and bought one for 34k and one for 39k put 10k in each. 

One example we used for our kids that was probably the most eye opening was, we compared our house to our neighbors - we built our house 10+ years ago and told our kids if we did not do what we did 10 years ago, we would only be able to afford the home next door.

That was 3 years ago, now we're up to 287 doors and climbing through the BRRRR strategy.

I am looking for a sign to put in the window or on the door that the house is not for rent.

We just closed on a duplex in Vero that was only $197K 15% down at 7.375% $1535.54 a month Both doors bring in $2850 a month so for $197K you can have a cash flow of over $1300 a month No HOA fee and renters mow the lawn.

I think there are two ways to “scale” your real estate business or investments.
