My wife and I bought our first townhome in 2022, have steadily grown, and now have 5 townhomes and 1 single family home. 

No one who has grown a business from small to big will tell you that they got there by surrounding themselves with only people who tell them what they want to hear and deliver it in a warm handbasket.

As my real estate portfolio has grown over the years both in terms of the number, types and location of the properties, including across states, I have continued to use my own designed excel worksheets to track records and prepare reports, including for tax purposes.However, my worksheets have now become cumbersome and more time consuming to manage.

I’ve had other clients who preferred this approach..one even found a gem in Glenview at a time when the suburb wasn’t as well-known, and today his property’s value has grown by 15% in the past three years alone.With the anticipated drop in mortgage rates in 2024, the suburbs might be a solid pick for someone new to the market, especially if you’re looking to build equity without dealing with the volatility of city investments.So, for a first-timer, think about your goals: high appreciation and some hands-on work?

It's a strategy that has grown in demand *because* of the higher interest rates due to the higher potential income (vs traditional 12+mo leases). 

I also have a great mold remediation guy who is based out of Ft.Myers, but his company has grown massively in the last 4 years so they may serve Tampa Bay now.

And, unless you're using to the cash out to grown your money it's pointless.

Both have cooled somewhat recently, but not enough to make a difference for Maricopa County’s population of 4.6 million, which has grown by more than 20% since 2010.
