I would be happy to talk with you and learn more about you and your goals!

While this is a great and highly motivating goal, most people are either clueless or incorrect in their belief as to what is required to obtain this “lifestyle”.Understanding of the “how to” get there is further obscured by the misleading, and often patently false “pathways” sold by real estate educational MARKETING companies as workshops, upsold to association memberships, upsold to mentorships.

I have many goals for my son, but my goals are not necessarily his goals.  

You’re in a great position with a property that’s appreciated significantly, a low-interest mortgage, and clear goals to boost cash flow and transition into full-time investing.

I have a goal of purchasing a small multifamily this year, so I want to start making the steps to make that happen.

Did you feel like using a property management company could help you achieve the goals you had for your investment property? 

Our goal is to always keep adding more value than what our investors would ever expect.We have some other pretty BIG updates coming in Q3 to continually keep adding value to real estate investors like yourself.Thank you again for your kind words

Once you've identified what's important and what ratios to look for to evaluate a property, all future deals should be weighted against those "good" ratios/numbers - and periodically adjust to suit your goals.

Also, which choice is better for you highly depends on what your real estate goals are and the experience level & skillset of the specific agent.Traditional agent and Redfin Agent could essentially be the same thing in many cases.

I would consider both your short term and long term goals when buying the property.
