I hope some of the skills that i have acquired and connections made with other trades will benefit me with rehab and maintenance!

I’m a newbie, so I’m still trying to acquire more property.

Not waiting for an 08 type correction but looking to sell a turn key operation and start again acquiring value add opportunities. 

How does one acquire the property?

I am using my own cash completely to help me acquire deals and I am looking for a lender to come in after I already got everything lined up so I can close in a few days and get my cash back in the following few weeks. 

If you had little to no debt (DTI: 5%-10%), currently renting, your initial REI goal was to fast track your way to be able to quit your 9-5 job with replacing it with positive cash flow, main goal was to acquire as many doors as you could, had 100k to start, and still had cash for reserves…Would you continue renting and or seek out a primary residence where you could house hack (keeping your DTI low, so that your able to still acquire rentals) or would you first acquire income producing rental properties and then use that income to eventually help you qualify for a primary residence?

Less than 6 months later we had acquired over 300 more units.Now, we’re on track to bust 1000 unit next year which is pretty exciting.My advice: Find an experienced partner and go through a deal together.

Buy a house, rent out the house, acquire your license while in the process.

I've helped a number of investors acquire str in the Tampa Bay area.

Personally, I'm a fan of holding onto a property then leveraging the equity from one asset to acquire the next.
