So it will help grow my portfolio in hopes to achieve my goal.

It's a great time to be building your real estate portfolio.

I'm a Top Producer with Better Homes/Mason-McDuffie and an investor myself (built a portfolio of 14 properties).

I have decided that wholesaling and flipping is something I need to get into if I am to advance my rental portfolio.

Fourth, I prefer portfolio lenders.

Part of our portfolio was vacation rentals.

Do you plan to sell off your portfolio one day?

My ultimate goal is to have a portfolio that has enough cash flow where my wife or I could quit our day jobs (who are we kidding, it will most likely be my wife).My dilemma/thoughts: obviously the property or two that I invest in will have to cash flow more than the $$ I will have to pay on the borrowed equity (roughly $130/mo).

He also told me that he made more from his rentals than he did from the law firm.He still held the entire portfolio of properties when he passed at age 90, giving the properties to his relatives who continue to keep the properties and run the rentals, living off the income. 30-40 free and clear properties does provide a nice "side" income.The "stepped up basis" provides that the inherited property transfers basis at the value at the date of death, which makes all the capital gains unrealized during the owner's lifetime tax free.This attorney had the same portfolio for maybe 40+ years, he never bought any more property and never sold any of his rental properties.

I was living in one unit for all but the last 2 years so it was my primary residence.Long TermBelieve it or not; I want to establish a buy and hold portfolio of cash flowing properties.
