@Alexander Roeschmann agreed with your assessment.

I just got hit with reassessment with Franklin county, basically any time permits are pulled it will trigger assessment.  

Hello all,I am currently 49 years old and have accumulated more than a dozen single family homes along with some other real estate and investments.

Get a list of a dozen banks in your area and call them all until 1 can help you.

Special assessments (i.e. paving, public water or sewer, etc.)Condo Associations, (2 Deeds) need docs, check reservesHousing Restrictions (unrelated parties, student, over 55, handicap accessible, etc.)Zoning, wrong useMLS: Is it currently listed?

At the worst the city may re-assess and charge me additional taxes in the future.

These ppl can look at dozens of lenders and streamline your process instead of going from bank to bank wasting precious time! 

Once you get to a point of being comfortable and have setup a team of attorneys and servicer(s) in the states you want to buy in then start buyingOne common mistake I see so many people make us they spend countless hours trying to find dozens of sellers when they want to buy one or two notes.

When we put one of our properties out to rent we get dozens of inquiries leaving basically no vacancy.

Additionally I'd love to hear from some investors that built up over and time can look back and assess how what skills transferred from starting with single family versus making the leap to small commercial.
