How do I grow the business and scale it?

As your portfolio grows, keeping one good easy-to-finance property free and clear can be a nice safety net.

Nashville has stayed in the top ten the past 3 years as one of the fastest growing real estate markets.  

It is going to take some time for that market to get back to where it should be after the over development this is common in Multi and commercial development.. at least what I have seen over the years  lag time is  so long to get permitted what is wild is when you see buildings that stop before they are finished.I remember a day in Honolulu there were foundations all over the place and see throughs.Vegas still has some and one huge one on the strip still sitting there 11 years later.in Portlandia we had half a dozen were the big underground parking structures were built started to go vertical and financing was stopped.. those have in the last 3 to 4 years though finally been finished but they sat there mothballed for half a decade. 

I have been using the money I made those first 2 years to start other businesses and now to continue to flip and rent.Because of real estate, I get to be at home and watch my two young kids grow up without having to be sent off to day care and get to travel with my wife and family.

The picture idea makes a lot of sense, to be able to remember each person easier. 

Remember, mortgages, notes and contracts are the tools of the 'silent partner' trade. 

It's OK, you can find another strategy or wait 6 more months to get the leases seasoned after you move.2) When you are running the numbers (I am assuming you want cash flow) remember to include management costs.

Remember if they are POHs you only count the lot rent when calculating the cap on the park.

I recently listened to a podcast on BP (I can’t remember the episode) where the interviewee mentioned that more people are moving to cities especially millennials.
