What are your current goals or challenges in real estate?

My goal is to continue to acquire more cash flowing rentals to eventually leave my day job and just self manage the rental properties. 

If you want, we can grab a coffee or lunch to discuss more upon your goals!

I’ve been working with real estate investors for many years, and I’d love to hear more about your goals.

I focus on finding deals that meet specific criteria, and I always keep my underwriting conservative to make sure the numbers work even on a worst case scenario.Right now, my big goal is to land my first property, ideally 20+ units in Florida, and build a strong portfolio from there.

@Eric Miller Choosing between one $600k property at 70% LTV and four $300k properties at 95% LTV depends on your goals, risk tolerance, and management capacity.

Yes, unfortunately only midterm, furnished rentals in the nicer parts of the city will get you over that $1000/mo hump if thats your goal.

I get more bookings from airBnB then from any other OTA yet AirBnB is the OTA I have the least positive feeling towards.I hope the new STR owners/hosts realize the risk they take if they choose to list on a single OTA.I think you have a good reason to follow what you believe. 

This is all for my future goal of owning a home specifically for Airbnb but that will be some time from now.

It’s a great way to grow faster.HELOC or Equity Tapping: If you have equity in another property, using a HELOC or cash-out refinance could help cover the down payment without affecting your DTI as much.Seller Financing or Creative Deals: Look for sellers willing to finance directly, which bypasses traditional mortgage qualification hurdles.Scaling quickly often involves combining strategies—play around with what works best for your goals.
