There are many stories of how things can become ponzi schemed if/when the owner grows too fast or spends too much money or both.

If you check out my post about probate lists, it was pretty much reposting that with an update on results over the course of the last year and growing to 25+ deals/month with the information given in the post.It had very little to do with promoting my products, and a lot to do with a valuable topic.

I'm looking to learn, network and grow financially and mentally and branch out to to other areas of real estate, and look forward to soak up everything I can.Cheers,Doug  

I have a lot to learn, & I believe that I have a lot to give as well, as I grow!

I’ve been a full time investor for about 5 years and have found that partnering up has been a key way to grow my business.

If you're looking to grow your portfolio, I'd do it in a place that cash flows (probably not the West Coast or Northeast).

I'm on the same boat as you, looking for successful investors who have the time to teach newbies how to run a successful business.I am a REALTOR as well, my plan is to hustle to grow my real estate business, use the capital to deploy it into flips or live & flips, & use newly acquired capital to finance my rental properties.

Remember, borrowed money isn't taxed but selling has capital gains.

@Caleb Heimsoth, my 12-month goal is a single transaction growing to 5 properties within the next 2-3 years and 10 in the near-term.

The sooner you start, the sooner you can get your mortgages paid off and collect more of your rent.Either way, remember: Timing isn't AS IMPORTANT as LOCATION.
