My ultimate goal is to get a portfolio of properties with good cashflow and hold on to them. 

A good commercial/portfolio lender may also have an idea on what kind of valuations they see come across their desk.

Hello Bigger Pockets community,My name is Derek Bretey and I am interested in starting my real estate portfolio in 2019.

Having done 75 buy-sell deals 2003 thru 2010 and subsequently losing my entire portfolio 2008 thru 2013, I've been clawing my way back from a position of no cash whatsoever and remain deeply entrenched in the 'turnaround' via being a painting contractor, flipping the odd house here and there, and as an agent with Keller Williams (focused mostly on higher-end mountain properties).
