This would give you an opportunity to form some relationships and get the lay of the land.You’re not specific about your real estate interests, but in my view, you could shelter your RE profits before tax in the 401k and build a large passive note and loan portfolio.

I am analyzing a portfolio of rentals in the southeast.

They will lean on your equity, but only if they can be sure that in doing so, there will be additional CF coming into your portfolio.

Should I pass on trying to buy and hold this property and wholesale it or skip the wholesaling and start building my portfolio?

I wanted to diversify the portfolio out of the stock market and I like the idea of being able to use leverage.

A good portfolio quant trader would not sell you hismain algorithm for a million dollars.

Just one other thing along the bulk purchases, you can break them down as Dion mentioned but you also work off of several loans or blocks from the weighted average to maturity, weighted average yield, weighted average collateral (LTV/CLTVs) as well in a portfolio.

Hi GuysAn interesting scenario:I am currently renting a nice house from a family member (i.e. using it as my home) for only £200/month (it would normally fetch £600-£700 per month on the open market).What I wonder is, should I:1. continue to rent it for quite cheap money and focus on building a property portfolio of rental property. i.e. invest the money saved from purchasing a property for myself to live in, in rental properties (i.e. rent out to tenants) and continue renting my own residence also at £200/month.2.

I know that may seem petty, but if that picture is the first impression someone has of you, they may well believe you're not very serious.To have a portfolio of rentals that produce a living income, you need, ultimately, one thing - CASH.

I like the idea of growing a portfolio of rental properties which I can help fund with the profits from rehabbing.
